tonyho7476 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I don't think meanest makes sense...maybe most annoying...but according to a poll by SI...AJ is the winner! Meanest Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 LOL, who did they poll for that list? Utley, Pujols, Nyger Morgan??? WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Lol@Prince Fielder. Dude reminds me of Teddy Ruxpin. What a dumb poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Seriously, AJ ahead of Bradley and Zambozo? LOL For more funnies, take a look at the Smartest 15 list. Ivan Rodriguez, who as I've read before is sort of known as the dumbest catcher in baseball, is on the list. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Adam Dunn or Alex Rios would get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
