Yankees' Alex Rodriguez voted MLB's 'phoniest' player in Sports Illustrated
Third baseman earns another 'honor' just weeks after being voted most overrated in magazine's pages
Only weeks after Alex Rodriguez was named the most overrated position player in the game by Sports Illustrated's player poll, the Yankees' third baseman earned another title in the magazine's 232-player survey: the phoniest player in baseball.
A-Rod earned 26 percent of the vote, easily outpacing teammate Nick Swisher, who ranked second with 14 percent. Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan finished third, followed by Giants closer Brian Wilson and Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips.
A-Rod received more than half his votes (64%) from players in the American League, with 44 percent of those coming from players in the AL East.
