I'm a new location, I don't want it at the end, I'm a new location, and I'm hoping that you understand.

Good morning and welcome to episode 368 of Effectively Wild, the daily podcast from BaseballPerspectus.com.

I'm Sam Miller with Ben Lindbergh, how are you Ben?

I am well, thank you.

All right, so far as I can tell, nothing happened today in Baseball, so I have a few different topics,

like three-ish, sort of, none of them particularly, well, I don't know, one is arguably timely,

one is exceptionally untimely, and the other is basically just a joke email.

So, I'll start with the untimely one, and, because quick, Grant Brisby wrote a piece today looking

for Baseball's five most hated players. Did you see this? Not players, but five most hated people.

I had not seen that yet.

And he ultimately concludes that there is no fifth, that there are four on Rushmore and any attempt

to add a fifth would simply be a disservice to the others, it would just dilute them.

Nobody can contend with the top four. And so, his top four, just out here as you want to go ahead

and guess the top four. Don't spend much time on it. I don't want to hear you thinking.

Laura? Yeah. Boris? Yeah.

Well, does it count like players who have gotten in trouble for things? Like,

Josh Luki or someone? It does not count Josh Luki. I mean, I'm sure it would count him,

but he's not on there. Seelig? Yeah, and last one, player.

obvious one. Number one with a bullet. There's really no question about it.

Current, oh, a red? Yeah, exactly. Okay.

So, and that's, I think he's right. I don't think there is a good fifth one.

Or at least, I don't think there's a fifth one who can reasonably compete with those four
