With a surprisingly slow start tugging at the Timbers’ morale, none other than Cosmopolitan has handed the team something it can rally around: Razzing the rookie.

I’m guessing first-year Timber Andrew Jean-Baptiste will get his share of jests this week after being named as Portland’s representative for Cosmo’s “Hot Soccer Players We Can’t Resist” list. To start, I bet Mike Chabala is pretty ticked at being snubbed. Secondly, yes, Becks tops the list. Shocker.

From Cosmo:

Soccer players are quite possibly the hottest athletes aroundโ€”theyโ€™re just the right amount of ripped, and have the best legs weโ€™ve ever seen on dudes.

Go on …

He may play pro soccer for the Portland Timbers, but Andrew could be a comedianโ€”his tweets crack us up.

Tweets? You gals are so picky! Speaking of, Jean-Baptiste, 19, took to Twitter to respond, saying Cosmo used “a bad pic” for the write-up.

Modest to boot? What a catch.
