Top 10 Names for Your 2009 Fantasy Baseball Team

Aside from helping drill players statistics from every MLB team into your head, keeping you up to date as to whether or not Ryan Church will be playing, and creating debates on how to pronounce Chone Figgins’ name, fantasy baseball is a lot of fun. Bragging rights are nice, and if you win a little cash along the way that’s not too shabby either. I’m settling into my 7th season as commish of my league this year, and along the way I have come across some fantastic team names (and have come up with a couple gems myself). The best names are always play off the players that you’ve drafted, so those of you who don’t already have a nonsensical team name like Purple Monkey Dishwasher or The Optimus Primes, wait until your draft is over to make your decision. Some of these team names are so good you might actually want to draft based on the one you like. (Disclaimer: you shouldn’t draft your players based on these suggestions, especially if it means taking Trevor Hoffman in the first round; however, Chewy is a fantasy beast and you should get him if he is available in your league).

10.) Gran Victorino
9.) Cudd’yer Mak’er
8.) Ellsbury Dough Boy
7.) The Good, the Vlad, and the Ugly (Also see: The Good, the Bad, and the Utley)
6.) Stop…Hameltime
5.) When It Reyes It Pours
4.) I Am Lidgend
3.) Two and a Hoffman
2.) Byrnes When I Peavy
1.) Honey Nut Ichiros
