I don't think it's that perplexing at all. You look at the number of times throughout last season where the real leaders of the Team (Donaldson, Tulo, Martin) were subtly expressing concern for "some" players attitudes. Eddie plays for himself, whether the fans love him or not. One of the "clubhouse problems" was Eddie not caring if the team won or lost. Guys like Tulo and Martin have reached the pinnacle before, and they clearly wanted to do it again - it's obvious JD wants to. It must piss them off seeing guys who are great, but who don't care for the Team.
