So one regret I have about this whole thing is that I didn't vote for Angel Pagan. But if I could vote for 11 dudes, I would've. I just really liked my list of 10, and I haven't even physically watched Pagan play this year. But I'm guessing he won't show up here. So you can read about him here instead. Why do I like him? To be honest, he just seems like the nicest dude. He plays hard, and generally seems like a great teammate. In the WBC, he played for Puerto Rico, and when not playing, was their top cheerleader. Read about Angel helping out at the family bait shop, plus he was down with the Giants signing Denard Span: http://www.mercurynews.com/giants/ci_29753028/giants-outfielder-angel-pagan-is-new-man Angel salutes because of his dad, and because his teammates like him: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2012/10/25/giants-salute-angel-pagan-unofficial-captain/1659357/ His mom joined a men's fast pitch softball team so that she could learn how to coach him as a kid: http://m.giants.mlb.com/news/article/30738856// Angel usually serves as interpreter for the guys who aren't good at English, plus, he's good with the press, too: http://onlineathens.com/sports/2012-07-02/pagan-takes-pride-helping-teammates-communicate Thanks for reading my homer post about good guy Angel Pagan.

The last time I went to a game, it was Mets vs. Giants, and my seat was behind Angel Pagan, and I stared at his rear end basically the whole time he was in the game. The game itself sucked otherwise.

Pagan was close to making my hate list but it was Giants heavy already so he didn't make the cut.

Don't worry, I got you guys. Votto is #1 on my most loved list. I also voted Hosmer #7 most hated, based almost solely on his dumb looking face / facial hair.

First off, I want to say that #22 is a really weird spot in both lists, and you'll see why. Secondly, I want to assure you that there will be much fewer and less gargantuan ties from here on out. Similarly to the previous poll, people agreed much more higher up in the lists. Anyway... Most Hated #22 (2-way tie), 13 pts: Noah Syndergaard, Hunter Pence Noah Syndergaard Team: New York Mets Debut: May 12, 2015  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1 What's to hate? He threw at Chase Utley's head in retaliation for Utley breaking Tejada's leg in a previous game. He also has a prominent social media presence, where he is occasionally very late with memes. I don't know, I'm grasping at straws here. Hunter Pence Team: San Francisco Giants Debut: April 28, 2007  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1 What's to hate? His personality is Xbox-huge, and it's bound not to be appreciated by everyone. His jittery, cracked-out batting stance is annoying too. Current Rankings Most Hated posted:25.

Most Loved #22 (2-way tie), 17 pts: Chase Utley, Dae-ho Lee Chase Utley Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Debut: April 4, 2003  #1 votes: 1 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 0 What's to love? If you're a woman living in Philadelphia between 2005 and 2010, everything. If you're not, I'm not so sure. When he's not breaking rules (or people's legs), he's a good enough player, but I suspect he's built up a lot of good will from his tenure as a Phillie, and with good reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnPBTozqdvY Dae-ho Lee Team: Seattle Mariners Debut: April 4, 2016 (KBO debut: April 11, 2001 -- NLB debut: March 30, 2012)  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 1 #3 votes: 1 What's to love? He rakes. In 2008, he helped South Korea win the gold medal in baseball. In 2010, he set a world record by hitting home runs in nine consecutive games. He won the NPB HR Derby in 2012, and helped South Korea win the WBSC Premier 12 in 2015. After FINALLY getting noticed by an MLB team earlier this year, he has continued to do what he does best.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5He1TIWbpM Current Rankings Most Loved posted:25.

Yeah Pence was number 2 or 3 on my hate list. I hate him for being a loving weirdo who has no business being so good at baseball, yet somehow he is. If he was on my team this would make him lovable but on the Giants it makes him extremely hateable.

If there was someone on the Braves with a personality like Pence's, I'd probably hate him too.

When I can’t figure out why someone is hated, I Google their name, plus words like “fight”, “ejected”, “hated”, and the like. When I did this with Matt Holliday, what I found was a couple of argued strikes, TOOTBLANs, and other people trying to figure out why Matt Holliday was so hated. Help me out here, goons.

It's overlap time! Most Loved #21 (2-way tie), 18 pts: Kyle Hendricks, Noah Syndergaard Kyle Hendricks Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: July 10, 2014  #1 votes: 0 #2 votes: 2 #3 votes: 0 What’s to love? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C3y0RgqKo8 Kyle Hendricks is a really really super good pitcher. Also, he always vaguely looks like he’s about to cry, and it makes me want to hug him. And of course, no Kyle Hendricks post would be complete without the following:   Noah Syndergaard Team: New York Mets Debut: May 12, 2015  #1 votes: 1 #2 votes: 0 #3 votes: 1 What’s to love? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqAu0nbVhAs He’s a fantastic pitcher, he can throw 100 mph, and he started the only 2015 World Series game that the Mets won. He also comes across as an extremely funny, laid-back, and personable guy in his interviews and many, many Instagram posts.
