Baseball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He is remembered for a scandal that nearly got him kicked out of Major League Baseball, than for his on-field accolades.
    He used the pseudonym Fausto Carmona and shaved three years off his actual age when he signed his first MLB contract.
    The truth about his identity came to light after the woman who made his false documents reported him to the authorities after his father refused to pay her.
    He shared his name with a relief pitcher, who would become his teammate in Cleveland.
    He played for five of the six teams the other Roberto Hernandez played for.
    He posted a 1-10 record during his first major league season (2006).
    He was inconsistent during his tenure with Cleveland.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He played well enough to be considered part of the Cy Young Award race during his first full season in the starting rotation (2007).
    He played in the All-Star Game, as the Indians representative (2010).
    He was described as having both a strong release and good control of his pitches by baseball pundits.
    His identity fraud case led to Major League Baseball implementing harsher and stricter punishments for players using false identification and birth dates.
