Why he might be annoying:

    He is a born-again Christian.
    During the 1997 draft, he and agent Scott Boras stated that Drew would not sign with a team that offered less than $10,000,000.
    The Phillies refused to offer him that much money after drafting them, so he refused to sign with them and played for an independent baseball league instead.
    In his first appearance at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, fans booed and threw batteries at him.
    He angered Cardinals manager Tony La Russa by reportedly not giving 100% and growing complacent because of his contract.
    He has a long injury history.
    Fans nickname him 'Nancy Drew' because of his fragility and laziness.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The Phillies knew of his contract demands before they drafted him, and refused to offer him that much.
    He is left-handed.
    He rose through the minor leagues in less than three months.
    His .455 batting average in college was a Florida State record.
    He has twice been part of a group of hitters that hit 4 home runs in a row.
