Why he might be annoying:

    He has been very arrogant in interviews.
    When pitching for the Orioles, he was reportedly late for a commercial shoot for RBI (Reviving Baseball in the Inner Cities). When he finally arrived, he allegedly complained about how long it would take to shoot, because he had other things to do.
    He had a losing season in his walk year (11-15 in 2000).
    He is always an also-ran for the Cy Young Award or close to pitching a no-hitter but has been unable to win the award or finish the deal.
    He carried a perfect game into the 9th inning in Boston before losing it with one out left (Sept 2, 2001).
    Despite his surname being native to Sicily, he said prior to the 2006 world baseball championship that he was not Italian.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His 1997 League Championship Series performance with the Orioles is one of the most dominating ever (15 IP, 4 hits, 1 earned run, and 25 strikeouts, an LCS record).
    He graduated Stanford magna cum laude with a degree in economics in 3½ years.
    He is one of the most reliable starting pitchers in baseball.
    He has an outside shot at 300 wins and 3,000 strikeouts.
    He was offered scholarships for basketball as a point guard and football as a place kicker and wide receiver.
    In addition to pitching, he was a place kicker for the Cardinal football team.
    He is a crossword puzzle fanatic.
