#18 Most Hated - 15 points Brian McCann Team: Houston Astros Debut: June 10, 2005 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0  What's to hate? Poque posted:Brian McCann yelled at Jose Fernandez. That's like throwing up on a baby. He spent about two weeks in 2013 as Sergeant of the Fun Police and SAS still hasn't let it go, despite loads of evidence that he has since lightened up. My theory is that every hate-vote for McCann is actually a love-vote for the unfortunately ineligible José Fernández, who was angrily confronted by McCann for admiring his first homerun. Yes, he got into it with Carlos Gómez too, but Gómez is less universally beloved and more alive, so it hurts less. Current Rankings quote:18. Brian McCann

My hate for McCann has definetly diminished over the years and he was more just a name to put on the list than a strong contender. But anytime I think back about him standing at home plate blocking Gomez I get annoyed. Carlos Gomez is great, back off.

Cherubic dong-mashers ahoy! #18 Most Loved - 17 points Kyle Schwarber Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: June 16, 2015 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0  What's to love? SAS's beefy lad is having a terrible year. He batted .120 in May, and was sent down to AAA in June. Since his return, he has been better, but hardly the slugging machine that he was expected to be after his glorious 2015 and 2016 post-season run. That said, if there's anything SAS loves, it's fat guys who rake, and Schwarber has shown some promise since being recalled. https://twitter.com/nissen54/status/890760170661445632 While I was trying to find something cool he'd done recently I found this. https://twitter.com/gwil_sainsbury/status/893195083356524544 Gary Sánchez Team: New York Yankees Debut: October 3, 2015 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 1  What's to love? A spectacular catcher...  ...with a spectacular bat.  Sánchez had a record-breaking rookie year, racking up 23 hits and 11 homeruns in his first 23 games. In 2017, he not only became the first MLB catcher with 4 multi-HR games under his belt in 82 appearances, but he also bested (an apparently exhausted) Giancarlo Stanton in the HR Derby even after naysayer & mantis-phobe Logan Morrison whined about his inclusion in the contest. Current Rankings quote:18. Kyle Schwarber, Gary Sánchez

I was the Kurt Suzuki #2 vote. It's really a vote for Terry Ryan, though. Somehow, I forgot to vote for Yo. Definitely blew that one.

#17 Most Hated - 17 points Dustin Pedroia Team: Boston Red Sox Debut: August 22, 2006 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to hate? He's bizarro Altuve, in that he is good at baseball and tiny, but hated by all. I personally thought he handled the situation with Manny Machado sliding into his leg very gracefully, but he's a Red Sock so gently caress him. *sprinkles post with AL East salt* Current Rankings quote:17.

#17 Most Loved - 18 points Dexter Fowler Team: St. Louis Cardinals Debut: September 2, 2008 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0   What's to love? https://twitter.com/DexterFowler/status/863574105580228608 Thousand-watt smile...  ...thousand-watt defense...  ...thousand-watt opinions. https://twitter.com/DexterFowler/status/833393294268731392 Sexy Dexy is a stand-up guy, and it's a shame he plays for a team with such an awful fanbase. Clayton Kershaw Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Debut: May 25, 2008 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to love? Clayton Kershaw is an amazing pitcher. He's got three Cy Youngs, led the NL in strikeouts three times and wins twice, and threw a no-hitter in 2014. https://twitter.com/ThePitcherList/status/854914460938641408 He can also hold six baseballs in one hand.  He also founded the organization Kershaw's Challenge to help children in Africa, Latin America, and the US. His humanitarian efforts earned him a Roberto Clemente award in 2012 and a Branch Rickey award in 2013. Mookie Betts Team: Boston Red Sox Debut: June 29, 2014 #1 votes: 1 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0  What's to love? Mookie Betts -- named Markus Lynn Betts so that his initials would be MLB -- is the only good Red Sock there ever was, and I say this as someone who put Chris Sale on their most loved ballot. He has been compared favorably to Dustin Pedroia, which deeply amuses me because SAS's seething hatred for the latter.  He does this thing (along with the other Red Sox outfielders) and I don't really know what it is but it's cute.  Mookie Betts had a 129-game strikeout-less streak, from September 12, 2016 to April 19, 2017, because he's that awesome. He would have been the AL MVP last year if Mike Trout weren't superhuman. No post about Mookie Betts would be complete without mention of his bowling career. He has bowled two perfect games and even made an appearance in the 2015 PBA World Series. He's possibly the only person who could possibly make bowling look this cool.  Current Rankings quote:17. Dexter Fowler, Clayton Kershaw, Mookie Betts

edit: Kevlar v2.0 posted:Wow, I was expecting Kershaw to be much higher on the love list. Me too! There were a lot of folks who were lower than I thought they'd be on the love list, and higher than I thought they'd be on the hate list. Probably just a consequence of low ballot count. It's okay though, because it makes the results more interesting.  Pancakes posted:When we were doing our ballpark vacation last year the first stop was Fenway.

I feel like I remember this happening though I couldn't have possibly seen it because I wasn't at Fenway. There was definitely a situation where a 12-year old girl walked him out onto the field and she was noticeably taller than him, and I was amused. quote:Am I wrong though?

Más overlap, por favor  #16 Most Hated - 19 points Kyle Schwarber Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: June 16, 2015 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1  What's to hate? He MIGHT be a tad overrated. Otherwise, no glaring personality flaws, as far as I can tell. Eric Hosmer Team: Kansas City Royals Debut: May 6, 2011 #1 votes: 1 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to hate? Overrated, and also made fun of Eno Sarris after he inexplicably mistook him for Mike Moustakas, which honestly I refuse to blame him for. Mike Trout Team: Los Angeles Angels Debut: July 8, 2011 #1 votes: 1 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to hate? He's the best player in baseball but has less personality than a bowl of unsweetened oatmeal. It violates the natural order of things. Current Rankings quote:16.

Más MÁS overlap, pro favor #16 Most Loved - 18 points Willson Contreras Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: June 17, 2016 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to love? Before suffering a hamstring injury, the reigning NL Player of the Week was having a fantastic season. Contreras became the Cubs' everyday catcher after Miguel Montero was sent away to Canada (and Grandpa Rossy was put out to pasture), and he has excelled ever since, drawing favorable comparisons to his idol Miguel Cabrera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLd1jTHliuw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z7-YEnqq2Q His bat has been red-hot this year and will be sorely missed (assuming, probably correctly, that he will go on the DL).  Anthony Rizzo Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: June 9, 2011 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to love? Kicked cancer's rear end, won a World Series.  Enjoys dancing (is horrible at twerking though).   Is one half of the NL's second greatest bromance (the first being the extremely underrated Anthony Rendon-Trea Turner pair, obviously).  Sure there are plenty of legit reasons to like Anthony Rizzo -- after all, he had 7 runs and 5 RBI during the 2016 World Series -- but these are the funnest ones. Jose Bautista Team: Toronto Blue Jays Debut: April 4, 2004 #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 0  What's to love?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7-mXvovqnc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMjhWLiWK_4 Joey Batflips plays the game The Right Way and also he follows me on Twitter so I have to say nice things about him. quote:16.
