		<description><![CDATA[I too find the &quot;Bautista = PEDS&quot; people annoying. However there is a presence on that team that actually qualifies as an annoyance; Corey Ptterson. He never seems comfortable with routine fly balls, is always caught by surprised by balls that either drop or hit the wall when he&#039;s on base, and he sees a stop sign every time he rounds 2nd and heads to 3rd, even if Brian Butterfield is windmilling so hard he&#039;s about to take off. He seems to posses less baseball instinct than a mayfly. That&#039;s annoying.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Google/Cody Ross reference was really funny.  Grant should do a whole piece on how players rate on Google.  Google is, afterall, a direct reflection of our world...well sometimes anyway, and especially when I need it to be so.  

I nominate Padilla from the Dodgers as the most hated.  With that mug alone...but also for the fact that he is a headhunter...guess his goal is to make everyone as ugly as himself.

Overall, a really funny way to look at powerrankings.]]></description>

I was struck by how many of the &quot;annoying&quot; players are in many cases that particular teams best player.  Not in all case obviously but many.   I take solace in the fact that the &quot;entire&quot; Yankees team made the list.  That&#039;s just my opinion.]]></description>
