Not everyone will "like" everyone else on a team. But a team is just a mirror of what you'll find in any work place. You'll have to learn how to work with people of all types, including ones you 'hate". Maybe if someone asked him what he's interested in, he could be given meaningful work to do so he isn't always sitting around playing with the tools you need. Find out the reason he joined the team. He may have talents that you are overlooking (everyone has some area they excel at) - maybe he can be your Public Relations guy, or the Spirit person. Or the Team Safety Captain. Maybe he's figured out a different way to look at the game, strategically. Maybe he's just got one of those personalities that rubs people the wrong way, but like it or not he's still part of your team. It's time to make him feel a part of it.
