“StarCast” actually sounds kinda cool…

dfensfelix I AGREE! We should do away with silly contracted names. They are douchey. So…what does “dfensfelix” mean anyways? Sounds pretty douchey to me…

Jeez, who crapped in dfensfelix’ Cheerios? Who gives a crap if someone calls him HamRam? Does it really effect you in any way shape or form enough to call someone a douche bag? Seems like thats a much douchier thing to do than calling Hanley Ramirez “HanRam”.

Wow…alright. My bad, I didn’t realize I was being a D-Bag. I thought it was more laziness than anything. Sorry I’ve ruined your day so. I hereby change all of the “HanRams” to “Hanley Ramirezs”. Hopefully I’ve made it right.

Is it really necessary that we come up with all of these stupid 2-syllable nicknames for sports players all the time? HanRam, are you serious? You can literally do this with just about any player in any league. Let’s start calling Starlin Castro “StarCast”. Since Joaqim Soria is done with “The Mexicutioner”, we’ll just start calling him JoaqSor. And maybe we can come up with one for all the people that use these idiotic nicknames on a regular basis for all of these players: I’m thinking…….”D-Bag”

I would say way more power…comparable maybe. And I don’t think he has the upside power of HanRam.

Minor League SLG:
Castro: .421
Jeter: .418
HanRam: .430

And HanRam hit for much more home run power than both.

Next Jeets, eh? Well, why not. He’s scrappy. A real ballplayer. Kind of thinking athlete a person can respect for his hard work and hard earned skills.

(I’m really getting the hang of this cultural label thing, aren’t I?)

He sounds more like the next Hanley Ramirez. Way more power than Jeter it seems.

If Castro really is the next Derek Jeter, he better start making room in his trophy case for all the gold gloves coming his way for outstanding (wink, wink) defense.
