Just watching him play, see his interactions with his team mates, look at how he approaches his job, see what others say about him. I know all touchy feely stuff that numbers guys can't understand. I see Votto, who puts up very good numbers, but will never in my opioion be a great team leader or someone who can put their team on their back and carry them. I see Baliey, who also has put up good numbers, but he will always be a "B" level player to me because he lacks drive and desire that I see in other players. both very good players, but I think their numbers are not a true overall gauge of them as ballplayers.
