I'm not saying that you can reasonably measure "intangibles" or "clutchness", but I think it's there. There's a reason for the Jeff Weavers or Mo Riveras of the world, and it's not all because of DIPS.

My two cents, feel free to refute.

There are factors I would say that made them win the WS. Luck, playing very good ball at the right time, etc.

Yes there is a difference between the Rivera's and Weaver's. A little something I like to call talent difference.
