Honestly, that's just not true. The vast majority of players I've covered or talked to over the years seemed like good guys. The jerks really do stand out.

Random question.

Do you think it is harder for the Jerks to make it up the ladder to the majors?

Barring overwhelming talent of course.

The amount of jerkiness possessed by any player is not proportionate to the chances of promotion.

Talent is the most important aspect for making the majors, regardless of personality. Saying that, guys you see moved from team to team often despite some talent gives you a potential indicator for jerkiness.

They would have put up with almost anything Bonds did because he had so much talent.

Yea, I didn't get that. It read to me like you were using Bonds as a general example that being a jerk wouldn't be a detriment.

I'm clear on what you meant now.
