Now that Xenophon has been permabanned (  ) and I made the 2016 thread with his express permission, I figure I am the rightful heir to the favorite/least favorite thread. Let us rejoice. General Rules Send a complete list of your 10 favorite & 10 least favorite active MLB players to sasheartsbaseball@gmail.com. Number your lists like so (edit: also include your usernames somewhere in the email): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. These lists can include free agents, DL mainstays (*cough* David Wright) or recently-demoted players, but can not include retirees, umpires (someone tried to vote for Angel Hernandez last year, shame on you), or the literal dead (miss you José). Remember, these are YOUR favorites & unfavorites, not necessarily the best/worst players. Feel free to factor in anything from WAR to blatant homerism to social media interactions to general dreaminess. Not everyone likes to be a Negative Nancy, so I am willing to accept ballots without unfavorites. Unwritten Written Rules You are strongly encouraged to use this thread to campaign! Post GIFs, pics, videos, stats, and other various reasons why anyone should vote for your favorites/unfavorites. You are also strongly encouraged to include reasons in the ballots you email me, because they're fun to read and I like them.  How Voting Works Your #1 player will receive 10 points, your #2 player will receive 9, your #3 will receive 8, and so on. If you send me an incomplete list, it hurts your top picks -- so if you send me a list of 5 players, the top one receives 5, the next receives 4, etc. Deadline: July 28, 11:59pm. You have ten days. DO NOT post your ballots in the thread until voting is over! YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Jul 18, 2017 |

It wasn't Strickland, who is hateful for 2017 reasons that are escaping me right now. I think it was Derek Law and it was for stupid reasons such as having the audacity to cheer for his own team during their game 3 comeback. e: Strickland was the catalyst for the stupid Harper brawl after apparently seething for 900 years about being a bad pitcher Poque fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jul 18, 2017 |

Reminder that I only had one Cardinal on my hated list last year, which I think is equally impressive.  It was Holliday and he's not even a Cardinal anymore. The Brewers have way more hateable players. No Rossy this year for my favorites list.

In the spirit of not just pimping all the awesome Cubs players I will pitch my favourite non-Cub (Castro is still a Cub in my heart). Joey Votto remembers when you used to be thin Joey Votto is the kind of hitter that every little kid should aspire to be, he has an impeccable eye for the strike zone and is a selfish base clogging OBP machine. If you ever see Joey Votto strikeout looking it's probably cause the ump was wrong. Popete fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Jul 18, 2017 |

I will need replacements for Papelbon and Clayton Richard (Hunter Strickland and Jose Reyes, yes!) but otherwise my most-hated players list will probably be the same. I wish Tim Tebow were eligible for all the Hot Takes.

Trying really hard not to be too much of a homer, so I'm gonna throw my hat in for Giancarlo Stanton. He mashes 119 mph monster dingers and he does it without the giant Yankees hype train circlejerk souring them.

What's that? You were going to leave the Cardinals off of your list of favorites? Let me try to persuade you otherwise. Dexter Fowler Hey all you depressed Cubs fans. Remember you go, we go? He's still around, he plays for your enemy but he's still deserving of your love. He's got a good sense of humor about himself. https://twitter.com/DexterFowler/status/863574105580228608 He gives back to the community. https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/873364283261939713 He engages with the fans. https://twitter.com/DexterFowler/status/865991655945416704 He also has an adorable daughter. https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/873361060203507713 Carlos Martinez You say staff aces need to be gruff and serious all the time? Let me introduce you to a badass pitcher who loves to have fun. Yes, Carlos is on his way to being a scary good pitcher. As a pitcher who has both strikeout stuff (reaching over 100 MPH even after pitching 8+ innings) and a knack for inducing ground balls he's on track to remain worth between 5 and 7 WAR a year on an extremely team-friendly contract. However, his talent isn't the only reason Cardinals fans love him. Carlos fully embraces the fact that he is getting paid millions of dollars to play a game. He keeps himself and the staff entertained in the dugout in numerous ways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu7RCk-xfKo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7spMaLkwjI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0upmFdvluA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDR5IEwGaok I have also personally seen him pay Jeremy Hazelbaker $15 to eat a mayfly from the Allegheny in the middle of a game. Yadier Molina Okay, stop walking away while giving me the finger. If Yadi played for your team you'd love him too. He's a very intense player but he's generally intense in an "I love baseball and want to win" way. Remember how much fun Puerto Rico was during the WBC? Who was the heart and soul of that team? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjVyJVlJtug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIwwJu1ZQXU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6iWqKly-vg He has a reputation for being too serious but he can have a ton of fun at the ballpark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7yKeD16vks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYnzCAgesQ Of course, we all know what Yadi is really known for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBI33MLRaNI Never run on Yadi.
