Why he might be annoying:

    He is nicknamed 'The Riot' based on the spelling of his last name, which is actually pronounced 'tare-ee-oh.'
    He lacked power early in his career, and was not much of a home run threat.
    When he started hitting for power, columnist Rick Telander wrote an article stating there was a 'cloud of suspicion' around his newfound power.
    He and fellow Cub teammate and Louisiana native Mike Fontenot were nicknamed 'the Cajun Connection.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was part of LSU's College World Series-winning team (2000).
    On the Cubs, he shared the middle infield with his college teammate, Mike Fontenot.
    He called Telander's article 'comical,' and said fans could form their own opinion.
    One of his baseball idols is legendary Chicago Cub, Ryne Sandberg.
