ok, here's the favoriteness list.  feel free to use it to form your own favorites.

1. pillar - dreamy eyes, distinctive nose, fast, great at diving catches.
2. goins - cute, good at defense.
3. price - played for detroit, seems nice, good at pitching.
4. revere - fast.
5. colabello - good backstory with the indy league thing.
6. martin - really good at catching, fast for a catcher.
7. hendriks - former royal.
8. kawasaki - does funny stuff in the dugout and on gifs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ below this line, the players are not liked.
9. navarro - kinda sloppy looking (out of shape).
10. dickey - dunno, doesn't let people steal, maybe?  dunno, just don't like him.
11. encarnacion - only thing he does is that stupid parrot thing.  no personality.
12. bautista - seems like he takes himself pretty serious.  stretches too much.
13. tulowitzki - always hurt or walking around like he's gonna be hurt, face is narrow, white guy with a line in his hair.
14. donaldson - see mocat, he's got a better list than mine.

any player not listed is neutral (right on the dotted line).

this is a pretty great list actually. i nodded with approval at almost every name & descripto.

my modifications: i would take dickey out of the dislike group. i watched some story about him being a sexual abuse victim as a child and it was real emotional and he seems like a good guy (despite hillibilly tennessee or something accent)
you replace dickey with justin smoak. look at this freaking guy's IRL face:

other tidbits (with a + or - in likeability index):

david price wanted to go to Toronto mostly because of their popcorn apparently being awesome. (+)

dickey is an illegal pitch-style pitcher (-)

josh donaldson seems like the most annoying guy. like when someone in the clubhouse tells a joke he is probably like "i don't get it" and then makes this face:

Hate the list. Munenori and Bautista are amazing humans. I also like Dickey and Encarnacion. Revere and Tulo, also cool. I hate David Price, like a lot, he's what steffy would call, a bitch. I don't really like Russell Martin but acknowledge that it is unreasonable just because he played for the Yankees, he's also take baseball serious guy. Everyone else, meh.

i was going to take take bautista off the hate list too, but sys' reasoning is "stretches too much" and i can't argue with that

I've been a fan of Jose Bautista, or "Joey Bats" as the kids call him, for years.  I still hope he goes like 1 for 17 in the ALCS with his one hit being a solo homerun in a game the Royals are ahead by about 12 runs.

Yes, and static stretching is largely useless and silly.

Plus Ventura doesn't like Bautista. If you can't even get along with Yordano Ventura, then you probably have some personality flaws.

David Price's gf is a K-Stater, so that's good enough for me.
