Player Nicknames

[canonfaz]

The amount of nicknames for players on this team (and really most of mlb) is lacking if you ask me.

<br><br>

I thought it might be fun to see what everyone calls some of the players that don't have clear cut nicknames. Out of the 25 active players, looking through the list, I only came up with 4 players that have clear nicknames (I guess "Jonesy" counts). Did I miss any?

<br><br>

So what do you call the other 21 players when you are rooting for them to get a hit or screaming at them to throw a strike?

<br><br>I'll try to keep the list up to date if we can find some decent nicknames.

Tillman is Tilly.

Pedro's is El Toro, as well.

Cool. Didn't know that either. I'll wait until his first homerun in an Orioles uniform before I call him that

He's pretty bullheaded about hitting into the shift.

He is. He tried to bunt a few times in spring training if I recall. I would like to see him at least try it once in the regular season in the right situation.
