Why he might be annoying:

    He often makes a fist pump gesture after every strikeout.
    He was frequently a target of trade rumors during his tenure in the Red Sox minor league system.
    He allegedly doctored a baseball during Game 1 of the 2013 World Series.
    He was involved in a dispute with the Red Sox over a contract extension, which played a key factor in the team's decision to trade him.
    He is described as being cantankerous and short tempered by former teammates.
    He, along with John Lackey and Josh Beckett, were involved in allegations of eating fried chicken and playing video games in the clubhouse, rather than supporting their teammates at home games.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, during his rookie season with the Red Sox (2006).
    His knack for winning crucial games earned him the nickname 'Big Game Jon.'
    He pitched a no-hitter against the Kansas City Royals (May 19, 2008).
    When word of the clubhouse scandal became public, he openly admitted he drank on game days where he didn't pitch.
    He was the winning pitcher in the World Series clinching game (2007).
    He created his own wine, with the proceeds going to cancer research related charities.
