Players whose nicknames you can't stand?

Han Ram lol? Sounds like Ham.

Jeter- Fan Man!!! Sounds stupid but remember when he goes into stands on pop ups?

Pujols- Dominican Machine

Smoltz- The Brave One

Cox- Ol Bobby

Lee- The Rays of all Pitchers.

That all sounds stupid ain't it?

Never thought about nicknames I didn't like. Now that you mention it, "Splendid Splinter" always sounded to writer-made-up to me. Just like "Bullet Bob" for Bob Turley. No one can tell me the players ever called them that. There might be others. But I want to try my hand at making a nickname!

Derek Jeter -- DJ

Albert Pujols -- I like "Prince Albert". If he need a new one, I'd say, "Yes he can." He's the one player who always does something when I watch.

John Smoltz --- Ironsides. Old as hell. Still good.

Bobby Cox -- Big Cox. Or Chicken Cox. No reason for that one. Just sounds cool.

Cliff Lee -- Cliffly.

Joe Torre -- Big Town

How was it?

The Rods

Ya, I always thought K-Rod's first name started with a K, then I just got confused

"Derek Jeter <-- ("The Captain" or "Cap" sounds weird to me.. sometimes i say Jeets lol that's weird too actually)"

You also forgot "Captain Clutch and "Mr November"

K-rod

A-Rod, K-Rod, I-Rod any other Rod, Man Ram and Han Ram or any other Ram.

Any duonomen diminutive (short forms of two names), like "Man Ram" for Manny Ramirez. It's too forced, too "JLo" (barf).

Last name diminutives in general are sloppy. "Yaz", "Bags", these worked; very natural (and in the case of Yastrzemski, desperately needed). "Jeets" is weak; what, saying "Jeter" (or "Jetah") takes too much effort? Please.

Also don't much like forced rhymes, like "Bad Vlad".

I can't stand the nickname "Han Ram." I just sounds odd to me.
