Unlikable traits:
- Is the ultimate "bro."
- Douchey player is attracted to douchey teams - has played for Blue Jays, A's, and White Sox.
- Involved in multiple brawls and altercations on the field. Videos forthcoming.
- Seems to have a bad case of roid rage.
- Seriously thinks it's cool to have fangs in his mouth while he plays baseball.
- Called his high school P.E. teacher a "big baby" who has "0 class" on Twitter because he let a star basketball player, Brent Malish, take more shots than Lawrie. This well-constructed insult happened seven years later, when Lawrie was already a professional athlete and was apparently still upset that he wasn't the star basketball player in 10th grade.
- Malish's uncle came to his defense on Twitter, Lawrie told him to "go play on Facebook" and called him a douche.
Story about Lawrie still bitching about high school basketball when he's a Major League baseball player: https://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/bret...-school-sports
- Threw his helmet at an umpire because he didn't like a strike call. Was suspended four games. After the game, he said, "it took a bad hop and it hit him totally by accident. I never meant to throw it at him." See video below and judge for yourself.

VS.

Jose Bautista (Orioles, Rays, Royals, Pirates, Blue Jays)

Unlikable Traits:
- Constantly whines to umpires about everything. Can be seen five minutes after he strikes out still yelling at the umpire from the dugout.
- Known for his excessive bat flipping, stare-downs, and general cockiness.
- Faked out Royals fans by pretending to throw them a ball in the playoffs and then holding on to it (has also done this to other teams' fans).
- Threw his teammate under the bus for not catching a pop-up that was clearly his.
- Slid into Rougned Odor with no intention of touching second base. Proceeded to get up and pretend he wanted to fight before getting clocked by Odor. Then he had the nerve to call the Rangers "cowardly" after the game.

I realize that Bautista has been super douchey to the Royals, and I don't blame anyone who wants to vote for him...but I stick by my opinion that Lawrie is the prototypical douchebag. Lawrie gets my vote, and I hope he wins.

I'm not lobbying for one or the other, but Bautista isn't a Royals thing. I mean, he got punched in the face by someone on another team and is known as a universal bitchass around the entire league.

Oh, I'm certainly not denying his douchiness. He's an elite douche. But just look at those pics of Lawrie. Douchiness is in the man's soul.

Why Not?

When this thing started, I would have bet a bundle that both my vote and the majority vote would go to Bautista. Both have changed over the course of the contest. Lawrie it is

I certainly wouldn't try and sway you or anyone from voting Lawrie, I just wanted to clarify the Royals connection to Bautista in regards to votes. You do this poll over the entire sports nation and Bautista's here. Lawrie on the other hand and a lot of "fans" are probably like "who?".

I am shocked that Lawrie is winning this. I voted for him, but I really thought Bautista was public enemy #1.

I think what sealed it for me is that Bautista can some what back it up on the field while Lawrie is a dbag that is mediocre at best on the field.
