Time to Rethink Nicknames

Don't know why but the Seven Dwarfs come to mind watching this crew.
Roberts-Speedy
Omar -- Dreamy in the field but Sleepy when batting
Bonds -- not much left, hence Barely
Durham -- TemporRayRayly, until he gets hurt
Aurilia -- Scrappy
Feliz -- Crappy
Molina -- Windmill, for his sporadic and usually untimely power (but name on back of uniform must be covered with "Caution -- Slow -- Wide Load" sign for those moments when he is clogging the basepaths)
Niekro --Bashful (has anyone seen him on the field this year), no make that Bashless
Winn -- Who?
