In the always volatile world of Pirates Twitter, there have been many players who have gotten the brunt of anger and criticism over the past few seasons. Player such as Charlie Morton, Clint Barmes, Erik Kratz, and Jeff Locke immediately come to mind. In some cases the criticism was well deserved, while in others it went too far.
One such player that has drawn much criticism from Pirate fans is shortstop Jordy Mercer. And while Mercer has, at times, deserved some of the criticism. He is definitely one of the players were the criticism tends to go too far.
