Whatever scrappy means. Seems it's a word without a definition that anybody can use and make up their own definition whenever they want to make something out to be better than it really is.

[metsguy234]

You don't know what scrappy means?

[HoustonGM]

You don't know what scrappy means?

It's a word with an ever-changing definition based on who's saying it, what it's describing, and what that person is trying to say.

I think the definition of scrappy is Pete Rose. (Although he was more good than scrappy, really) Usually a light hitter who's small-ish, fast and steals a lot of bases (and ALWAYS, slides headfirst! ). Which is why Willie "Princess Willie", "Boom-Boom", "WFB", "Effin'" Bloomquist is my pick.

"full of fighting spirit"

And however that is "measured" is up to the person saying it, who they're talking about, and what the point they're attempting to make is.

I happen to think Adam Dunn is "full of fighting spirit" so I guess he's scrappy

[metsguy234]

Adam Dunn isn't passionate enough to be scrappy

[TheNamelessPoet]

[HoustonGM]
