Why he might be annoying:

    Despite his accolades, he doesn't get a lot of mainstream exposure outside the Phoenix area.
    He was passed over until the eighth round of the Major League Baseball Draft, due to scouts' concerns about his size.
    He comes off as being embarrassed about the media attention he receives due to baseball.
    He goes by the nickname 'Goldie.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is considered a pure throwback player by baseball pundits.
    He is a humble and modest person, and prefers to avoid looking at baseball statistics.
    He rose to prominence in baseball circles after he won the Hank Aaron, Golden Glove and Silver Slugger Awards in the same season (2013).
    Rather then drive a luxury vehicle, he is known for driving his parents' old Ford F-150 to the ballpark.
