The Resume

    (October 14, 1981- )
    Born in St. Petersburg, Florida
    Birth name was John Paul Bonser
    Pitcher for the Minnesota Twins (2006-08), Boston Red Sox (2010), Oakland Athletics (2010) and the San Francisco Giants

Why he might be annoying:

    He legally changed his name from John Paul to Boof.
    His name sounds too close to a dog's barking.
    He frequently rotated between the starting rotation and the bullpen.
    He bears a striking resemblance to Julian from 'Trailer Park Boys.'
    His inconsistency in the minors hurt his status as an elite prospect.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was one of the pitching prospects the Twins received in the A.J. Pierzynski trade.
    His dominating performances in the second half of the 2006 season earned him the #2 spot in the starting rotation.
    He was the South Atlantic League's leader in most regular season wins during the 2001 season.
    He mastered the fastball and changeup pitching styles.
