Or for that matter taking sides right? You cant have 11 that never played playing 11 quality players and think you will win. Flip that and if you have 11 me players that are more concerned about the stats on their football card you will have a dysfunctional loosing team imho.
On a smaller scale, when I coached little league, I had the team of misfits. First thing I did as a coach is build a competition mindset among the players. While we had 3 core players that played before, most of the team were new to the game. Competition in the sense of each one of them building the other up towards their potential built a team that was undefeated in year 1 and lost 1 game in year 2-4. If a team believes in each other and not just in themselves they will thrive. This was my experience and this was why I was excited with McD day one.
BTW, I pared the ones that could hit well with the ones that could not in the batting cages for a whole afternoon. They taught the ones that struggled up. throughout hte season the kids that struggled would be able to "coach" the others as to why they struck out. They were buying in to each other.
