This is a contest for the best name in Minor League Baseball. I cast my vote for Flint Wipke - a graduate of 2B's school, and his off-season hitting instructor!

Thanks to those of you who voted! Flint is taking a commanding lead over Brett Butts in the Razor Shines bracket. What an honor it would be to win the Wonderful Terrific Monds, III, award! If he makes it past this round, it'll be tough going, facing the likes of Tagg Bozied (Natty Natress bracket), Jeremiah Piepkorn (Farmer Works bracket) and Bubbie Buzzachero (Icicle Reader bracket).

I remember when Bong played for the Braves! It reminded me of another favorite name: Biff Pocoroba. 
Tho he isn't in the minors now, one of my favorites from last year is a crafty little Dodger infielder named (Chin-lung) HU ... hubby and I were joking the other day while listening to the game on the radio ... after he stole 3rd ... 'Hu's on third?' and of course it got to be pretty silly.
Also, though not quite the "clever minor league moniker" material, I do believe that the Diamondbacks may be the only MLB team with 3 pitchers who should really be with the Rangers ... DALLAS Buck, HOUSTON Summers, and AUSTIN Shappi ...
