I think it's true that there are guys out there like Jeter, Ortiz, and Tom Brady that possess intangible attributes that help their team win. It's also amazingly less important than their tangible attributes and these three guys all score pretty high on the tangible skill scale.
As for chemistry in particular, it's impossible to build a team with chemistry in mind. There are too many variables to predict an outcome based on the input so you've just got to find the best players you can and hope they coexist. I'll take the high talent-low intangible guy each and every time, especially in a game dependent on individual encounters like baseball. In basketball I'd probably look a bit closer at how the pieces fit together.
