The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like Mark Wahlberg.
    He was traded to the Diamondbacks from the Marlins in a salary dump move.
    He missed the majority of the 2001 season as the result of a season ending injury, which cost him the chance to earn a World Series ring.
    His hard throwing style essentially caused him to blow his arm out after eight seasons.
    He was arrested for domestic violence after he attacked his wife during a confrontation over his cell phone (April 2018).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He threw a 100 MPH fastball as his primary pitch.
    He excelled in the closer role with the Marlins, following the departure of Robb Nen.
    He converted 15 saves on his first 16 opportunities with the Diamondbacks upon his acquisition (1999).
    He made a comeback from Tommy John surgery and managed to perform at a high level (2002).
    He and his family were featured in an episode of 'Counting Cars', in which he custom restored an old 1953 Chevrolet pickup truck.
