I think some Latin players get unfair reputations due to the differences in personalities and cultures.
Right now his value is incredibly low however. Weak season and the whole debacle at the end of the year. I followed him a lot as a Brave and always liked him. As far as I can count, he's really had no problems as a Blue Jay besides the eye paint. Doubt he gets traded.

He has had other issues such as taking a lot of fly balls that weren't his and pissing guys off in the clubhouse. The second part comes from Zaun so may be hearsay but it seems based on what came out of Atlanta and how he is treated by the Blue Jays something more is going on than one incident with the eye black.
