August 29, 200520 yr My vote is for royce clayton. and nobody better try to say he's "all glove no bat." i know a scout for the padres, and he agreed with me and said royce is regarded by the padres as "all contract, no bat or glove." i quote that. anyways, who is everyone else's vote for?
August 29, 200520 yr Jaime Navarro, no doubt about it. I have never seen a player sign a huge contract, suck incredibly bad, and then blame other people for their failures as much as JN did.
August 29, 200520 yr I can just see it now... "eff you... he is NOT the worst....." It's begging to be closed... give in. Please...

I have never seen a player sign a huge contract, suck incredibly bad, and then blame other people for their failures as much as JN did. You make a good point. I revise my opinion to make a tie. I was concentrating more on non-pitchers, but you can't ignore navarro.
August 29, 200520 yr Not a very nice topic. I think it is obvious from an all around baseball perspective. We had one guy who was almost as beloved by the media as Bonds is.

We had one guy who was almost as beloved by the media as Bonds is. what's wrong with this topic? i thought it would be kind of interesting to find out what people thought. if you dislike it, then dont post on it, I guess.
August 29, 200520 yr Just seems a little malicious. Maybe "most disliked" or whatever...but "Hated" is just a brutal way of talking about somebody who plays for a team we all cheer for. I can't say I have "hated" any of the players, but there were some who drive me friggin' crazy. Honestly, I have a hard time watching WidgerTV nowdays.
August 29, 200520 yr Todd Ritchie and Royce Clayton stand out in my mind. Though Ritchie is more to be pitied.
August 29, 200520 yr this one is easy....... SAMMY SOSA hated him in a Sox uni and that didn't change when he took it off
August 29, 200520 yr There's plenty. I just can't narrow it down to one. Todd Ritchie Royce Clayton Juan Agosto Joe Borchard Mike Caruso "hate" is too strong a word for these guys. They just didn't cut it. "disliked" "drove me nuts" or "plain 'ol sucked" probably fits better. Jaime Navarro - you can say "hate" for this guy.

August 29, 200520 yr QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) Good one! Talk about playing past your prime! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember when we got him from the Yanks, I was so freakin stoked, he even did a cameo on the Simpsons that year. Finally the season came and nothing. what a bummer that was
August 29, 200520 yr QUOTE(3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) How quickly we forget Jose Paniagua! I know you're referring to his behavior that one night, but aren't you forgetting all his other contributions?
August 29, 200520 yr I kind of liked Caruso, and I always wish he would do better. Looks wise, he was such a throw back to old baseball.
August 29, 200520 yr QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) Uh oh, here comes Kalapse... I'm suprised it took 13 posts for his name to be mentioned. Like I've said a thousand times, I'll never understand the hatred for him. He produced for a s*** team in '98 and never amounted to anything after that. You can say more for him than you could for a s*** load of other Sox prospects (even though he wasn't home grown). What about Jason Dellaero, we drafted his ass in the first round and never did s***. Dellaero played 11 career games and hit .091, maybe people should redirect their Caruso hatred toward players that never did anything, instead of one that played his ass off and contributed.
August 29, 200520 yr My most "Dis-liked" team 1b Wil Cordero 2b D'angelo Jimenez 3b Jose Valentin ss Royce Clayton of Armando Rios of Brian Daubach of Julio Ramirez dh John Kruk C Mark Johnson sp Todd Ritchie sp Jamie Navarro sp Gary Glover sp Dan Wright sp Scott Shcowenweiss rp Rick White rp Matt Ginter rp Jose Paniagua CL Billy Koch Manager: Terry Bevington Edited August 29, 200520 yr by rangercal
August 29, 200520 yr I got an autographed ball by Mike Caruso... the other day when I was gonna play catch I didn't have any baseballs, I was close to using that one...you think I should use it next time?? lol, im serious.
