My apologies if this topic has already been discussed but has NSBB come up with a consensus nickname for our new leadoff man.

 

I kinda like Slappy as a nickname for him but I believe more than a few BRS fans call A-Rod that amongst other things.

 

Just thot I would ask for some feedback.....thanks.

I'd rather have a name that refers to his throwing. Slap hitters are common enough(Neif!) but Pierre's arm is a rare specimen.

 

Snail Mail(announcer: "ball is coming folks, please wait while Juan licks the stamp")

The Rag(for a rag-like arm)

The Leprechaun(because every time Juan throws you see a rainbow)

Would that make the cutoff man the elusive pot of gold?

 

Yes, good idea. When Pierre throws from deep CF the cutoff man should be referred to as "the pot of gold".

Based on his throws from center, its hard not to just stop at Wanda.

 

Otherwise, I prefer, "Keeping the seat warm for Felix".

i think frostwyrm coined that one and as far as i know, nothing else has come close.

I like bags, which describes how his uniform looks when he wears it. Could also refer to his penchant for swiping bags.

I like Slap Nasty with Slappy for short.

 

Note: I used to call Murton "Leprechaun" but after a hilarious comment in yesterday's game thread, I nominate The Big Murt for him.

You'd rather have One Dogs cannon arm back?

Damn, that is a classic

 

Wish I had come with that one.

Most Red Sox fans refer to ARod with names that would not be welcome on this board. If they do call him Slappy you can be sure that there is some profanity surrounding that. I personally like Slap Nasty.
