I'm going to stick with "Morneau". I've never been a huge fan of nicknames since most of them suck. A-Rod, K-Rod, etc. I think my favorite modern nickname is "Manny". Possibly "The Big Hurt". Go-Go is one that I think is really stupid.</p> The Canadian Crusher isn’t bad. I’m going to stick with “Morneau”. I’ve never been a huge fan of nicknames since most of them suck.

Or I would go with the Canadian Crusher. I’m always in favor of alliteration.

Too bad Boof is hurt/terrible. I know Boof is his real name, but its still pretty cool. </p> <p>Something with Maple Leaf or Mountie might work for Morneau.

Something with Maple Leaf or Mountie might work for Morneau. I’m guessing “Cheap drugs for old people” is too long.

I propose that we attempt to bring back the age of crazy 1920’s nicknames, rather than the lame stuff people have been coming up with for the last couple of decades.

At least people don’t call him J-Morn.

I assumed that nickname was reserved for the reigning MVP winner in each league.</p> are we still allowed to call Morneau “MVP” even though there have been two more recent AL MVP awards handed out?

Should be a good race all the way through the year.

Can you imagine what it’d be like if 4 teams are separated by 0.5 games in September? It’d be the most exciting race … ever.
