PrintC: Kurt Suzuki--Kurt is from Hawaii and Hawaiians are hella friendly. Grade A
1B: Daric Barton--friendly but could be friendlier with the right person. Grade B+
2B: Mark Ellis--would be friendlier but unicorn duties often supercede friendship. Grade B
SS: Bobby Crosby--not playing well + still a relative newlywed = not very friendly. Grade D
3B: Eric Chavez--used to be really friendly but injuries and surgery have hampered him; could bounce back in 2009. Grade B
LF: Matt Holliday--married with two sons, "Big Daddy" figures on prodigious friendliness in his new Oakland digs. Grade A
CF: Ryan Sweeney--see Daric Barton. Grade B+
RF: Travis Buck--wants to be friendlier but needs to get his confidence back. Grade C+
DH: Jack Cust-- friendly enough but a little too selective at times. Grade B
SP: Justin Duchscherer--as with Ellis, Duke would be friendlier if he wasn't so focused on the task at hand; knows how and when to turn it on/off. Grade B+
RP: Brad Ziegler--AN brother has answered all our questions and been awesome on and off the mound. A baseball blogger's best friend. Grade A+
But (should we reacquire him) the odds-on choice for Friendliest Athletic of 2009 will turn out to be ...
OF/1B: Nick Swisher--with Swish's track record it isn't even a contest. Nuff said. Grade A++

What's the friendly on him?
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Mediocre at best
If you lived out east you’d know
it is not possible to strategize while the ball is coming towards you

Jack Cust
is only unfriendly to those who say he isn’t valuable, damnit.

i miss the friendliest athletics of all time
such as milton bradlley and jose guillen. oh…wait…
I wonder who would come out of a cage match
between Swish and Mike Sweeney. One of them would have to crack and tell the other to shut up, right? It could be days… even weeks!
