Which nickname should I give THIS guy?!

bigd51 · 03-26-2018, 12:02 AM

So I noticed this behemoth of a human (just ready and waiting to wreck all things baseball) didn't have a nickname and I want suggestions, because there's negative-zero worlds in which someone this good should go without an awesome nickname. Btw, in case you're asking yourself, this is a Standard league w/ only Nippon and it's minor league added, carried over from OOTP '18. And, no... I didn't edit anything about him.

I've got 5 I'm considering:

- Death Star
- Starkiller
- T-Rex
- Mastodon
- Dragonzord

What say ye? If you have a better one, post in the comments!

6'5" 185? Where's he getting that power from?

Padreman · 03-26-2018, 12:07 AM

Mastadon or Mammoth

itsmb8 · 03-26-2018, 12:22 AM

Obvious choice is T-Rex, because its fitting due to his size, and his last name also starts with a T so it flows better than the others.

Krypton, apparently..

ALSO, I meant for this to be the poll thread on the Gen. front page, but alas, I'm still green on this site and haven't figured out how it works yet.

Edit: I'm also adding another option I just thought of...

- Dragonzord

(If it's not apparent already, I was an OG Power Rangers kid)

His first name should be "Ben"...

eck.nicholas · 03-26-2018, 11:30 AM

Nickname should be skinny. He's tall and skinny for that height. I'm 5'10" - 185 and considered average. He's a half foot taller and same weight, thus skinny.

RubeBaker · 03-26-2018, 12:12 PM

How about "Behemoth"?

mtopham · 03-26-2018, 12:19 PM

Juan 'Towhere' Tovar... it's a call-and-respond for all the balls he's going to lose over the fence...

Kinda like, "Hey, Mrs. Alonso, where's your son?" "Yonder"...

Rosco Peabody · 03-26-2018, 12:50 PM

......I still like "Ben"....

My god, he's growing, guys.

Just finished the current season, and he's gone from 185 lbs to 195. We may have a Barry Bonds-like steroid scandal going on here.

He also led the league in:

Runs (142)
Hits (196)
HR's (56)
RBI's (153)
AVG (.336)
OBP (.444)
SLG (.704)
OPS (1.148)
WAR (11.7!) (Which ranks 13th all-time in a single season for batters and eclipses Bonds WAR during his 73 HR season)

And he had a wOBA of .451 and a wRC+ of 188.

Thanks for the replies! Still haven't decided on a final nickname yet, so keep 'em coming. Needless to say, this will be interesting to watch where he ends his career.

P.S. No, Rosco. I am not naming him Ben Tover.
