drat, I missed the snipe. Well, anyway... Most Hated #24 (2-way tie), 11 pts: Josh Donaldson, Clay Buchholz Josh Donaldson Team: Toronto Blue Jays Debut: April 30, 2010  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0 What's to hate? The reigning AL MVP is extremely good. He knows this and embraces it, as evidenced by his Twitter handle @BringerOfRain20. It would seem that some fans like their players to have a bit more humility. I'm just going to assume that the two people who voted for him are Toby Basner and Matt Bush. Clay Buchholz Team: Boston Red Sox Debut: August 17, 2007  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0 What's to hate? Boston Globe posted:Asked if he supported Trump for president, Buchholz gave an enthusiastic, “Absolutely!” He is also a mediocre and/or inconsistent pitcher with incredibly stupid hair.

Most Loved #24 (5-way tie), 15 pts: Miguel Cabrera, Munenori Kawasaki, Corey Seager, Kyle Schwarber, Gary Sanchez Miguel Cabrera Team: Detroit Tigers Debut: June 21, 2003  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1 What's to love? The six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, four-time AL batting champion, and 11-time All Star is a hitting god who literally flattened a baseball once.  He's also a pretty cool dude who has a good sense of humor.  Munenori Kawasaki Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: April 7, 2012 (NPB debut: October 3, 2001)  possibly the most serious picture of Munenori Kawasaki on the entire internet #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0 What's to love? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7ZQIdZtVAQ  Possibly the most flamboyant-in-a-good-way personality in the MLB. Making baseball fun again.  Corey Seager Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Debut: September 3, 2015  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0 What's to love? A down-to-earth, normal, kind of adorable 22-year old who happens to be very good at mashing dingers. He even made it to the HR Derby this year (where he and every other non-Stanton person were summarily annihilated, but still), and was selected for the 2016 All Star Game.  Kyle Schwarber Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: June 16, 2015 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0 What's to love? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlJJfyatUNo If there's anything SAS loves, it's fat guys who rake (  Prince). Schwarber only played 2 games this year, tearing his ACL in a collision with Dexter Fowler. Gone but not forgotten  Gary Sanchez Team: New York Yankees Debut: October 3, 2015  seen here receiving some sort of intracranial dinger blessing #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1 What's to love? After a brief pinch hitting stint in October 2015, the Yankees brought him up full-time on August 3. Since then, he has become the quickest player in Major League history to reach 11 home runs (he did it in 23 games), and the first ever to be named AL Player of the Week two weeks in a row (August 22 and 29). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP6c2T-FkTk edit: fixed team names, I suck Current Rankings Most Loved posted:25.

Poque and I ran into Munenori Kawasaki in the parking lot of Sloan Field at Spring Training this year. We were spraying ourselves down with sunscreen and he walked up to us and asked if he could borrow some. Poque asked if he was Kawasaki, and he responded with "most people say I look like Kawasaki, and that is because I am in fact Munenori Kawasaki". He applied the sunscreen, thanked us, shook our hands, and wandered off. And I totally forgot to put him on my favorites list.

I have no qualms whatsoever about your list, although it is weird to me that so many people had Aroldis Chapman lower than #1 because I used the involvement of a gun in his domestic violence incident to nudge him above Jose Reyes on my own list.

Most Hated #23 (3-way tie), 12 pts: Jung-ho Kang, Eric Hosmer, Jeff Francoeur Jung-ho Kang Team: Pittsburgh Pirates Debut: April 8, 2015 (KBO debut: April 8, 2006)  botching a fist-bump -- unforgivable #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1 What's to hate? As ALFbrot described it, "Schrödinger's Rape". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette posted:Police have said that the woman told them that she remembered drifting in and out of consciousness. She claimed that she remembered Mr. Kang sexually assaulting her, and that she regained full consciousness while in a taxi cab, police said.

It is unclear at this time. My theory is that Mets fans are still salty. He does have kind of a hateable face, I guess.

Tulo was born with glass bones and paper skin, but when he's NOT on the DL (which is never), he's really good. He is one of 15 Major Leaguers ever to turn an unassisted triple play, and he is also half-responsible for one of my favorite baseball-related GIFs.  couldn't find one without the (incorrect) caption, sorry David Ross Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: June 28, 2002  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0 What's to love? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jOcdSylvEM https://twitter.com/D_Ross3/status/744393055160107008 Joe Maddon posted:Too many times you portray players as clubhouse leaders and that’s done way too loosely for me. With him, it’s legitimate. He is a clubhouse leader. Despite not hitting .275 or better, he still maintains his stature in the clubhouse because of the respect people have for him for how he goes about his business. When he says something, it’s pertinent and right on. Also, the relationship between Grandpa Rossy and Anthony Rizzo is even cuter than the Bryzzo bromance. There, I said it.

He legitimately does look like genetics tried to draw a cartoon villian's face on his face. I also don't get the dim frat boy vibe though. I've known a lot of dim frat boys and Hoz doesn't seem like one to me but maybe that's my homerism. Edit: bewbies posted:Noted dim fratboy Eric Hosmer offers his thoughts on some stupid kid who had cancer or some poo poo, where are the bitches at bro send a brew this way And Hosmer could use social media to urge fans to join players at McFadden’s to celebrate the American League Division Series sweep of the Angels — and then plunk down a credit card to pay the $15,000 bill for all.  I don't know Bewbies... that seems pretty fratty.

I always thought he looked more like the rear end in a top hat leader of a rival summer camp in a kid/teen movie myself. I voted for John Jaso based entirely on his physical appearance too, so I don't begrudge you (in general, not sure if you voted for him at all) your choices, though #3 definitely seems a bit high.
