Unlike last season, this year's free agent crap is relatively low on nicknames. That said, a few of them are really cool. Here's the rundown.
C) Mauro "The Blade" Villarreal: Aptly named as he wields his bat like a deadly weapon.
MR) Douglas "Shotgun" Cluff: Doesn't like to drive.
MR) David "Peanut" Cortes: He's always popping peanuts---a reason why he now weighs 230 pounds!
SP) Ramiro "Grinder" Rosa: He just grinds at the corners, hitting his spots over and over again, never giving opposing hitters an easy at bat.
SP) Ramon "Meltdown" German: Good potential, but not exactly the guy you want on the mound for a Game 7.
SP) Lou "Prexy" Martin: His three pitches are pretty sexy, hence the nickname.
MR) Javier "Commy" Galindo: Old freind Commy Galindo will enter the draft for the third time. It's only fitting with his leftist beliefs that he's been drafted by the Reds and by Los Angeles.
3B) Juan "Anvil" Tomar: He has an arm that's as strong as an anvil.
MR) Albert "Baron von Mitterwald" Burnett: Ummmm, anyone want to take a stab at the reasoning behind this guy's nickname?
MR) Kevin "Choppy" Glidden: Runs in slow choppy steps, hence why his stolen base potential is so bad.
3B) Domingo "Lizard" Diaz: Has an expansive reptile collection of animals he's collected in his native Carrollton, Texas.
C) Melvin "Pree" Rogers: .......?
MR) Samuel "Punch" Glover: Has anger management issues.
C) Gustavo "Scatter" Pimental: He's such a poor defensive catcher that when a player tries to steal a base, the fans scatter so they don't get hit by an errant throw.
CF) Rob "Smiling Mickey" McCarthy: Another returner, did we ever figure out why he's called Smiling Mickey?
1B) Pete "The Great Gabbo" Murdoch: Does a great ventriloquist act.
RF) Rafael "Whoop-La" Ramirez: There's a lot of whoop-la and excitement when this guy gets on first.
C) Mauro "The Blade" Villarreal: Aptly named as he wields his bat like a deadly weapon.
