I actually use this as a guide on who to draft, or sign as minor leaguers. I rarely, if ever, take on anyone who is less than "average" in work ethic.
Intelligence and greed matter next to me. I will take a greedy guy and I will take a dumb guy, but I will not take a greedy, dumb guy unless his work ethic is off the charts.
I constantly look at young guys whose potential is high on the free agent list and see that they have low work ethic and pass on them.
For veterans, I am a little less concerned on work ethic, but if they are low, they at least better not be a jerk in the clubhouse.
I love how these ratings change over time. It actually fuels me to trade away guys that over time change and become potential problems.
One of my favourite aspects of this game.
