No long lists of proposed nicknames please - You got a bunch of alternate nicknames than these, one comment per player please. Check to see if your preferred nickname is here, do not re-post nicknames that are already posted as a comment, simply rec it and forget it.

Name me an Angels player who has induced more F bombs on a game thread…
Fuentes
"Ballplayers play baseball." -Jose Mota
Touche
I meant per AB.
…and I believe Fuentes means ’F***" in spanish
Actually...
It means “fountains.” Which still makes sense, because he lobbed the ball up and over the plate, like water from a fountain.

Trumbomb
as in, “A Trumbomb! From Trumbo!” OK maybe not exactly like John Sterling, but you get my point.
Mike, if you're not gonna pinch hit for Mathis now, promise me you'll at least do it in the World Series.
Also...
Hank Conger starring as…The Huntington Hammer!
Mike, if you're not gonna pinch hit for Mathis now, promise me you'll at least do it in the World Series.
And finally
Rich Thompson is The Saucy Aussie!

Vernon Wells...
…is Mount Vernon. Why? Because he’s big, planted in the ground, and doesn’t move.

Claim shmaim.
Brian Wilson’s is FEAR THE BEARD, if I’m not mistaken.
Also, I made a sign for Walden, with a semi-decent drawing of his face that says “Fear THIS beard.” Bring it to each game I go to.

Hisanori Takahashi...
…is Shiitakahashi. Because it’s a playful pun on mushrooms, and it’s what we all inwardly think whenever he comes in with men on base.

Fernando Rodney...
…is the Red Bull. (Interesting story behind this, see below)
I was at the Angels/Braves game on May 20th, sitting in section 257, which, as you all know, overlooks the bullpen. Fernando is walking around, chatting it up with some fans—and he’s chugging down Red Bulls. I had him at about 5, last count.
And then it dawned on me.
THIS IS WHY HE ALWAYS BLOWS SAVES! He’s so shaky and tweaked out from the Red Bull he keeps drinking that he can’t pitch right! Thus (although Fraudney will always be classic), Fernando is…The Red Bull.
