Teammates find it difficult to say anything bad about Paul Goldschmidt

He’s unofficially known as “America’s First Baseman.”

He’s finished second in the National League MVP balloting twice in his career.

Since becoming a full-time Major Leaguer in 2012, only two players in baseball have driven in more runs.

We’re, of course, talking about D-backs slugger Paul Goldschmidt, who despite being one of baseball’s most complete players, doesn’t garner much attention outside Arizona. He very quietly and methodically does his job, and figures to make his fifth career All-Star appearance later this summer.

By all accounts, Goldschmidt does everything the right way, which makes it impossible to say anything bad about him. That’s what his Arizona teammates found out when they were asked to do just that.
