My Take

Jayson Werth was the kind of player who made a team feel tougher just by being in the lineup. The wild beard became iconic, but it was the patient, professional at-bats and clutch postseason hitting that made him valuable. He was a key piece of the 2008 champion Phillies, then took the big free-agent contract to Washington and helped legitimize the Nationals as contenders. His walk-off homer in the 2012 NLDS is a franchise-defining moment. Coming from a baseball bloodline, he played with a chip on his shoulder that fans loved. A genuine winner.
