How does AJ rank ahead of Zambrano and Bradley? He has never gone after teammates or even gotten into a fight in which he was the aggressor.

 

 

Just stupid

 

The examples you used are specific instances. Maybe they aren't always like that and they do have some friends.

 

AJ is just a mean, surly person. He is like that all the time he is not pleasant to anyone. He would be my vote for the meanest jerk in baseball along with Bonds and Gary Sheffield but they aren't active any longer.

I've never personally met him but I would not have guessed that based on everything I've seen, heard and read about AJ. He's made a few funny commercials. He was part of the "3 stooges" along with Rowand and Crede in 2005. IIRC, they were Joe, Row & Po.

 

I know he can get under the skin of opponents when he wants to. He's the guy where you say "Yea, he's a jerk, but he's OUR jerk."

I've been with him in baseball lockerrooms and have had many friends work with him. He is a personality for the commercials but you will be hard pressed to find many people who tolerate him let alone like him. Except the Hawkaroo of course.

 

Don't get me wrong he has been a valuable player for the Sox and isn't a "cancer" like Bonds who outwardly try to disturb other players. He usually sits around watching TV (college football mostly) and keeps to himself, throwing a few verbal shots at people.

I dont know, I think labeling him a jerk is appropriate, but to me someone who is mean is the person who is trying to hurt someone else, not trying to get under their skin.

 

 

I accept he is an asshole, I understand that. I just dont think mean is the correct word, i guess. But all of this really is moot, I dont know him, or any of them personally.

This may be just legend, but I'd always heard that Ozzie said, "If AJ is on the other team, you hate him. If he's on your team, you hate him less."

If Ozzie is the manager of the other team, you hate him. If he is the manager of your favorite team, you hate him more.
