The Resume

    (February 15, 1974- )
    Pitched for the Montreal Expos (1995-01), Boston Red Sox (2001-02), Texas Rangers (2003-03), Florida Marlins (2003) and Detroit Tigers (2004- )
    Career ERA of 3.32 (as of 2003)
    661 strike outs in 563.2 innings pitched (as of 2003)
    Two time All-Star

Why he might be annoying:

    Although having a reputation for not fearing anybody, he's intentionally walked Barry Bonds.
    His name is hard to pronounce.
    His nickname is 'Triple-U.'
    He has an extremely slow delivery, which usually makes it easy for base runners to steal on him.
    He, at times, has a rugged 5 o'clock shadow look.
    He's changed teams three times since 2001.
    It took him 5 years after being signed by the Expos in 1990 to make his major league debut.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Other than Bonds, he'll just about go after everyone.
    During a game against the LA Dodgers, Jeromy Burnitz called time out because of Urbina's slow delivery and then mouthed 'Hurry it up' to him. Urbina responded by pausing extra long during his delivery and then striking out Burnitz.
    He was excited when being informed that he had been traded to the Marlins because he happens to own a home in the South Florida area.
    To match his mid-90's fastball, he has a devastating change-up, a slider and a dirty splitter.
    After the first half of the 2003 season, left-handed batters (who are supposed to have an advantage against a right-handed pitcher like him) had a .177 batting average.
