Why he might be annoying:

    His frail looking stature earned him the nickname 'The Cuban Missile.'
    Despite posting solid numbers, he only had one All-Star Game appearance to his credit.
    Despite being a mainstay in the White Sox lineup, he was let go by the team in a cost-cutting move as they didn't want to pick up his $10 million option.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was an accomplished player for the Cuban national team, as he was a member of five gold medal winning teams in five tournaments.
    His performance at the 2006 World Baseball Classic led him to be highly sought after by major league clubs.
    He set a major league rookie record by recording four grand slams in a single season (2008).
