Which current baseball player has the most baggage?

Question

Is it Bonds? Manny? A-Rod? Or someone else?

I think I gotta say Bonds because of the steroid thing and the fact he is really the worst player.

Answer 1

Vlad.

Answer 2

Bonds isn't active, so I'd say 1) Manny, 2) Bonds, 3) A-Rod

Answer 3

I gotta go with Manny since Bonds is not an active player.  If he were, then Bonds would definitely be your man

Answer 4

Outside the big media market guys you mentioned, it has to be Milton Bradley.

Answer 5

I'd say Manny, he's like the Chad Johnson of the MLB.  The only baggage I see with A-Rod is his personal life, which isn't so personal.

Answer 6

Manny just cuz Bonds isn't technically an active player

Answer 7

Bonds would be at top of my list because of his pending "allegations". They're WAY too much baggage as a PR move to bring him into any team - and it's been known he's not a positive or strong club house presence. Not to mention he's even offered to spend his prorated salary ($150K) to buy tickets for underprivileged children and STILL NOT TEAM WANTS HIM!

A-Rod - that's just a divorce, time to move on. Allegations or not, he made a mistake and time to admit it.

MANNY - PRESENTLY after his statement of being "tired" of the Red Sox, it's time to move on. I'm a HUGE BO SOX FAN and would be sad to see him leave. But when a player turns on his team, by saying what he said, he's not longer a part of the team and doesn't deserve to be there. I think it's in best interest of both sides to part ways.

*Overall* Since the question was "current" and Bonds isn't playing, I'd VOTE MANNY. Otherwise, it would be Bonds.

Answer 8

your probably going to think I'm nuts but I think its Josh Hamilton.  He is a recovering heroin addict and he says in interviews that its still a constant struggle...he has to have a friend of his go everywhere with him just to keep him from going back to it.  He has already thrown away years to this drug and he's only one relapse away from doing it again.  All of these other guys have media hyped baggage.  Bonds, Manny, A-Rod...they're baggage won't ruin their lives.  They will still have boatloads of money and be relativly happy.  His baggage isn't currently hurting the team at all...people rally behind him, but if he relapses?  It would be devastating to the Texas Rangers both emotionally and talent wise.

Answer 9

Manny the guy just and all his antics are enough and Boston and Manny are not on the same page

Answer 10

Casey Blake arrived at the Dodger team dressing room with 4 large bags and was asked, do you need help with those?

The answer, by Casey was, "Yes, but puhleeze be careful with them as they are full of basehits for me and you"!

Meaning his new team mates.

Now that, is the kind of baggage, that I Like!

Answer 11

Manny.

He constantly bangs the Red Sox Organization.

He is a Cancer to the Sox.

Though Bonds would bring the Media if he were active.

Answer 12

Manny. especially after what he said/says/will say about the Red Sox.  

Answer 13

If your talking about pure fat, then I'd say Prince Fielder.

If your talking about getting lots of "attention," it's Manny.  Too many idiotic actions and stupid statements, although he is a great player.
