I wanted to respond to this separately. Teams evaluate intangibles all the time, it might not be perfect or even preferential, but it would be negligent not to do so.
Us as fans, might not be in the position to make such rankings (and this might frustrate us), but it doesn't mean we shouldn't consider it when evaluating players.
I still don't understand how anyone can reconcile the notion that catchers are the least defensively valuable position yet (and I didn't look it up) they might be historically the worse hitting position (maybe SS could be worse).
