You took my idea for a post that I was going to do about a month ago but couldn’t because the poll editor didn’t work at BtB for some reason so I forgot about it.

It's worth about 2 Courics.

I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

Perhaps a bad attitude has can cost more runs than a good attitude can add

For that individual player with the bad attitude? If he’s a professional, none. If he’s Delmon Young, more than a handful. But clubhouse distractions could cost a lot of runs, when you take into account interaction effects. Unfrotunately, there’s no good way I can think of to measure such a thing.
