Vindicated! I knew I wasn't the only one who couldn't stand Nick Swisher-his peers don't like him, either. This poll of 100 MLB players produced some interesting results.

I love how everyone is swimming in A. J.'s wake.
“Everything about (Swisher) is annoying, from his mannerisms to his always wanting to ‘bro’ it down,” an unnamed American League veteran told the magazine. “Being around him is just exhausting.”3 6 10 21 29 31 35 41 42 44 47

Whole lotta jealous Pirates and Royals out there sound like a bunch of gossip queens in junior high.
And it's hilarious that people think Joba is still overrated. I haven't heard his name mentioned all year. How is he any more overrated than Buchholz or Becket?Last edited by GiambiJuice; 06-21-2012, 08:27 PM.My top 10 players:

As for A-Rod, I dislike him for the obvious reasons, but I suspect his peers remember some of his bush-league antics on the bases; i.e. running across the pitcher's mound in Oakland, shouting "I got it" while baserunning on an infield pop-up, knocking the ball out of an infielder's hand on a tag play, etc.They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.

"Brandon" Arroyo played against ARod in HS and told a little story that neatly summed up his personality for me. The game was a little too close for the players from ARod's elite school and they were geting antsy, and after one close call ARod barked something like, "Hey, WE should be getting those close calls!" at an umpire.

I can see how Swisher's personality can rub people the wrong way. He seems to talk a lot, in front of the camera a lot, and has a "cockiness" about him that often can rub others the wrong way...with that, I dont know the guy either...also, does he have ADHD? It wouldnt surprise me if he did

In a 2009 World Series game in Philadelphia Swisher caught a fly ball for the third out of an inning. The he turned towards the outfield stands and made a fake throw into the seats to Phillies fans looking for a souvenier. He proceeded to hold up the ball in a taunting manner, and run the ball into the infield. He really got on the Phillies fans nerves and I'm sure there have been other incidents in regular season play where he's played mind games wih the opposition's fans. He was not a nice guy in his early days with other teams, and has become even a bigger jerk since he's become a Yankee.Last edited by philliesfiend55; 06-22-2012, 07:26 AM.
