    Ah, I was not aware of that. Perhaps I'll nickname him "The Dweeb".

    It's probably because he mis-spelled the shortened version of his own name.

    Perhaps his nickname should be "MeFailEnglish?"

    I already have a possible Poor Start for Yorman thread started in my head in case he makes an out in his first AB.
    Poor start for Yorman
    It's very early, but man is he struggling: 0 for 1 (.000), 0 HR, 0 RBI, .000 OPS.

    Don't forget that after his first defensive inning, without a single chance, his fielding percentage will be a paltry .000, so he'll obviously be a liability in the field as well.

    Amen. BobSteve is simply terrible.

    If only there was some other "Robert Stephenson" who had done something of note that we could use to craft a nickname...

    I have said this so many times, there was a famous engineer that built steam engines for trains named Robert Stephenson.

    How is The Engineer not perfect for a pitcher? Or The Locomotive? Or Steam?

    I'd take Boxcar Bob over BobSteve.

    Is Yorman's lack of EBH a concern?

    When will Yorman Rodriguez start hitting?
