Honestly I don't care much about the ego... I kinda like guys with some swagger. What I don't like is the fact that he pairs that ego with being a giant ####### and from a performance standpoint he's not a team player. To clarify on that last bit... teams invest heavily on, and employ a lot of people (statisticians, Kinesiologists, doctors, trainers, etc. etc.) to coax maximum performance and durability of performance out of these people and Bauers always been like "nah, Imma gonna do my own thing".
I'm glad he's signed into the National League (because issues aside he's a really good top tier pitcher), and I'm glad he's signed in general because it'll get the market moving on the middle tier of starter from which I hope the Jays can pluck someone good.
