On the same subject, Bryce Harper the first overall pick who went to the Nationals and who many think is going to be the next phenom, is said to have really poor make-up.
Sports Illustrated  dubbed him "Baseball's Chosen One" and likened his impact to LeBron James in basketball.
Kevin Goldstein of baseball prospectus had this to say.
Goldstein, quoting baseball sources, reported that Harper is pretty much loathed by everybody except his parents and maybe his agent, Scott Boras.
 
"It's impossible to find any talent evaluator who isn't blown away by Harper's ability on the field," but it's equally difficult to find one who doesn't genuinely dislike the kid."

"One scout called him among the worst amateur players he's ever seen from a makeup standpoint, with top-of-the-scale arrogance, a disturbingly large sense of entitlement, and on-field behavior that includes taunting opponents."
He makes Bradley sound like a choir boy.
