Simply wow...The economy has really turned for the worse when franchises play video game (EA video games no less) to figure out whether a player will have good chemistry with their current team.

Rule of thumb: If you have to dig that deep to figure out whether a player will be a good fit, then he's probably not a good fit....

This is really cool ... I hope other games start doing this. Especially MLB The Show. Very innovative.
