Chemistry

John Delcos at Lo Hud, writes about Willie Randolph, David Wright and team chemistry:

Willie Randolph scoffed at the back page of the tabloids feature the A-Rod-Jeter feud.

"That's normal for me," he said. "Back in the Bronx Zoo days, that's tame."

Back then, Thurman and Reggie polarized the clubhouse.

From there Randolph talked about chemistry, saying it is like the chicken-or-egg debate. Randolph said it's overrated at times. David Wright and others said last year’s chemistry was forged in spring training.

From the player point of view, chemistry exists when you believe in it. If you think things are great and are positive, it usually translates that way on the field.
