Amazing Closer - Needs Nickname

Goodsox · 07-25-2008, 10:39 PM

In my solo league I have had a closer for a few years now that has just been amazing. This last year his ERA was .73 in 56 games! He doesn't have a nickname and I want to give him one, but could use some suggestions since I am not very creative.. Anything you come up with is appreciated. He is only 28 and has 379 saves. If he can stay healthy he is going to shatter the overall saves record of 541 set by Trevor Hoffman in my league.

"Wilkie"

The Cheektowaga Buzzsaw.

How about "Bubbles". I'm thinking the least intimidating name possible. The irony would make the impending save even worse.

Long_Long_Name · 07-25-2008, 11:23 PM

I'd go with "The Best Closer". But I'm not a big fan of Thunder, Lights Out or whatever, so... yeah.

He also wishes that you would use a better skin.

I'd go with "Smoke".

"The Wilkerson Blade"

Ghetto Anthony · 07-26-2008, 12:55 AM

The Wilk

endgame · 07-26-2008, 01:08 AM

First takes would be "Wrapper" or "Will-K"

The Hammer

Played Softball for years with a guy who was head and shoulders above everyone and not supremely gifted athletically, the guy could just flat out hit.

somewhere along the ways he picked up the name "Auto" - followed him to this day.

Not strictly related, but I drafted a guy who came with the nickname '4'. Turned out pretty good too.

Left-handed Badger · 07-26-2008, 03:53 AM

"Sweetcheeks" (thanks to his hometown)

"The Guillotine"

What is his pitch selection/velocity anyhow?
