[berniebrewer4life]

A couple of current Brewers, as well as two of the classiest players in baseball made the list.

Yeah I saw this. Doesn't really mean much in my opinion. They also offer no explanation with their picks.

[DannoMac21]

lmao @ Jason Kendall.

 

Dude seriously looks like a mass murderer.

I guess the explanation is that it's a players poll. Prince has been chill for the last few years, so I'm sure this is based more off his first three or four seasons.

when i watch the team congratulating each other after a game, Fielder always seems to be the one jumping up and down the highest and giving the most high-fives. i can only assume a lot of that extends into the clubhouse. it doesn't really matter much to me if he is or isn't a jerk when it comes to conversations at 1b with an opposing player.

Took 5 posts for somebody to ask how Chris Carpenter will explain this to his son? Disappointing.

[Ennder]

This list completely baffles me, so many players on it that have no negative reputation at all from a character standpoint.

Milton Bradley isn't even playing baseball anymore. when was this poll even sent out?

[jeffy]

This gives some percentages:

Since #5 is only at 4% the last 10 got 4% or fewer votes. Also says 215 players responded, 4% of that is 8.6, so to be #6 on the list means probably about 8 players voting for you.

In related news, Jr. High girls all list each other as the meanest girl in school....

 

Hats off to the 75-80% of MLB players that didn't bother to respond.

Ha. And Sports Illustrated isn't invited to Chase Utley's birthday party.

 

These polls are useless.

[MadScientist]

Well I could see opposing catchers voting for Morgan and Fielder, but yeah the numbers make this poll worthless.

Yeah, exactly. Z, Bradley, Youkilis, Carp...fine, but Utley, Plush, and Pujols don't really make any sense.

[cadillacjosh]

Could they have gotten a less intimidating picture of Big Tex?

[fondybrewfan]

Is there something about Utley I don't know? How could that many MLB players not like the guy?

[NievesNoNO]

...and somebody got paid to put this together. Meanest players in baseball?? What the heck is the point. At least if they're going to do a pointless poll make it entertaining like hottest wife/gf, most weapons in his locker, best video game player, best poker player, position player with best curve ball... I don't know something useless but entertaining with a story to go with it. I agree it does sound like a Jr. High girls poll.. no offense ladies.

feeding the appetite of people who want to read negative press about players.
