Re: Show 18's Best Player Names

Me personally, I can't stand when Spanish speaking countryman are drafted and have American names. Like a guy from Venezuela with the name Dick richards. I know their are exceptions like mike Lowell who was actually born in Puerto Rico and is of Cuban decent, but it just kills immersion so I squally edit the names taking to random Spanish names from random players and putting them together I.e. Vladimir Pyug for example.

Back on topic. Best name I've seen so far is a guy I drafted in the 3rd round named Reece Rice. Just sounds like a weird combo

lol excellent, those are the kind of names that always catch my attention, to my own detriment. I get caught up in name & wind up not focusing as much on better potential prospects because who really wants to send Mike Smith & John Jones to the Hall.

I seen his name was Choo Choo and instantly drafted him based off that.

Show 17, i drafted a Mike Jones to Seattle. Any late 2000s rap fans here? Lol

In my Blue Jays 18 franchise I've drafted guys named Bobby Brown(RF), Tommy Brady (RF), and Pablo Fransisco (SP) in my past drafts. Brady has some nice flow.

You absolutely MUST make his walkup song just a train sound effect.


The best I've seen myself so far in MLB 18 is a CF named Wally Winklesas (Matty V pronounces it Winkle-Sauce).
