Spellchecking Twins Names

If the Twins had names that were agreeable to spellcheck, here's what they'd look like. There are some pretty good nicknames in this bunch!


Alexi Camilla - Recently married a British monarch.

Nick Pinto - If you hit his rear end, he'll burst into flames.

Joe Crude - Sounds like a bad guy on an 80's video game.

Kevin Slowly - Actually, he can throw 94 miles an hour.

Francisco Larine - lar·ine (lar′in, -īn′) adjective

1. designating or of a suborder (Lari) of seabirds, including gulls, skuas, and skimmers
2. of or like a gull

He doesn't look very seagullish to me.


Book Bonder - He can't be any worse at bonding books together than he is pitching.

Demon Young - "Hey what are you doing tonight?" "I think I'm gonna go up to Rosedale and check out that new horror flick, Demon Young!"

Denature Span - de·na·ture - to change the nature or natural qualities of. Span totally denatured C.C. Sabbatical into a terrible pitcher.

Michael Cruddier - There are cruddy ballplayers, there are cruddier ballplayers, and there are the cruddiest ballplayers. Michael is cruddier.

Pat Neck - The neck. Good nickname for a sidearm reliever. It's also the signal Gardy uses to bring him from the bullpen.

Matt Gorier - And you thought the game was gory before they brought him in.
