  • Players in the need of a nickname

    List some players who are in serious need of a nickname (amazing talent plus interesting physical/mental characteristics usually makes one qualify for a list like this) From my Sox:
    Josh Beckett
    Jonathan Papelbon
    Dustin Pedroia (I wish he would change his first name to Maurice, Mo-Ped would be absolutly perfect)

    As a Yankee fan I know a few for those players. You probably wouldn't like them though.

I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

        Didn't the players start calling Pedoia "Pedy" or "Petey" and Papelbon already has "Paps" as a nickname(could get better one though...)

          When you think about it, it would be more reasonable to call Papelbon "Big Papi." But who cares, Ortiz is better suited for it.

          I think Ichiro and Reyes are in need of one. I don't know why (read the signature ) but Ichiro could be called "President."

                    "Freddy "Dirty" Sanchez"

                    That's been Duaner Sanchez's nickname since early 2006. I'd try another. Jose Reyes and David Wright could use one.

                      Does he know what that means!?!?!? Or does he not know they call him that?

                      How about Paul "Crazy Eyes" LoDuca

                          After reading Carlos Pena's anagram in the Fun With Anagrams thread, I'm certain that if that was pointed out to his teammates, it'd become his nickname, with or without his blessing, in short order.

                            A lot of these are abbreviations, not nicknames.
