Whoever initially came up with this team name is a genius. Expect Justin Morneau to have another big season for the Colorado Rockies in 2015, so draft him and make this is your team name.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Bourn is no longer the “supremacy” of the base stealing world, so if you draft him, you better hope Bourn finds a new “identity” next season. See what I did there? … Anyone?

You need to make sure to draft San Diego Padres starting pitcher Andrew Cashner and Miami Marlins closer Steve Cishek to use this team name, but it’s so clever that it’s worth it. They’re also both valuable players to have on your team, so that’s not a bad idea anyway.

You, the reader, have come so far and made it to the second to last name on this list, and for that, I commend you. Injured Texas Rangers middle infielder Jurickson Profar is hoping to make it all the way back from a serious shoulder injury that caused him to miss all of the 2014 season.
