I suppose one could argue that grit and scrappiness are already included in the player's personality and work ethic.
Clutch at one time was in the game IIRC and was removed due to user request as an unprovable trait, which I believe most users agree with.
Are you comparing "veteran mentors" with clutch? You don't think adding a Greg Maddux or a Barry Larkin to your team helps the young players? It doesn't even have to be young players that are helped. Players learn from each other all of the time. Look at Kerry Wood last year picking up the cutter from Mariano Rivera. I don't think its any different than having an extra pitching, bench, or hitting coach that can mentor one or two particular players and bring the benefits that any OOTP coach currently gives to a player.
Front Office Football and Football Manager both have this feature and handle it well. IMHO it is an idea with some merit. It's something I certainly wouldn't compare to clutch.
