Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He balked at taking a significant leadership role with the Rangers, which played a key role in the team's decision to trade him.
    He fired a parting shot at Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, calling him a 'sleazeball.'
    Despite posting solid numbers, he didn't the All-Star Game roster, and was passed over in the fan voting and as an injury replacement (2009).
    His omission from the American League All-Star team that year led to some baseball pundits going as far as saying Joe Maddon found every innovative way to give him 'the finger' in regards to keeping him off the team.
    His defensive play came into question during the later stages of his career.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He overcame severe asthma as a child to excel on the ball diamond.
    He declined the offers from the earlier drafts, as he felt he wasn't ready to play professionally and he was focused on getting his degree.
    He was praised for his work ethic by coaches and pundits alike.
    He went 6 for 6 at the plate and hit for the cycle in the same game, becoming the second player in franchise history to accomplish the feat (April 15, 2009).
    He earned a World Series ring as a member of the Red Sox (2018).
