The Goofy Name All-Stars (active players)

jrdolan

Here are some nominees for the Goofy Name and Nickname All-Star Team. Some of the nicknames are Berman-isms, others I made up, and some are just inescapable. The ones without nicks don't need 'em! My faves are Boof Bonser and Tim Spooneybarger. Former players like Snuffy Snodgrass and Rusty Kuntz aren't eligible (though they are in the Goofy Name HOF).

As you can see, this All-Star team is top-heavy with pitchers. We need some lumber (or at least some leather), even if we have to dig into the deep minors. Any names?
