If anyone can truly define for me what the heck any of those terms really means, let me know.

I'd say that it's what BJ Upton doesn't do. (at least in the eyes of the scouts.)

Upton, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 draft but is a shaky fielder and has struggled to find a position. A rival scout says he soured on Upton when he refused to pick up baseballs at the end of a batting practice at Class AAA Durham last year and brushed off a Bulls coach in the process. "There are serious questions about that kid," the scout says. "I just don't know how much he wants to play." . . .
