When an "Intangible" becomes "Tangible"---getting rid of Randy Johnson
When a player doesn't want to play in a place for whatever reason, that's called an "intangible," an idea, a state of mind, a feeling. When this player, Randy Johnson, leaves one team, say the Yankees, and moves back to the west coast, he leaves a blank space on the mound, which is a physical or "tangible" thing.
- (Similarly, you hear roving experts remark on teams' togetherness or lack thereof in the post season--intangibles). So now, even though "chemistry" and "personality" don't matter to some--only stats, Randy Johnson may be on his way out of the Bronx. How about saying both exist--tangibles and intangibles, since it's obviously the case?
