Nicknames for Alex Avila?

Looking up and down the Tigers roster, you fnd many of the the players have a nickname Miguel Cabrera-Miggy, Cabby, Justin Verlander-JV, Victor Martinez- V-Mart, Jose Valverde-Papa Grande, etc. With the all-star season Alex Avila is having, I think it's time he gets a nickname as well.

Any suggestions?

Most of those don't even count as nicknames, they're just lazy constructs.  V-Mart, really?  Alex Rodriguez will be calling to get his nickname back just as soon as he's done calling the 5,000 other athletes that people have attached it to.  The only other time it was clever was with Kenyon Martin.

Also, it's a pretty solid rule that just about everything suggested in a "hey let's nickname this guy" thread is either stupid or astoundingly stupid and never catches on.  AAB's idea being an exception.

Firstly, I love The Big Tilde for Magglio as a nickname, and I think that Agent P is absolutely brilliant for Ryan Perry (because he may or may not be a platypus.)

As for Avila, well, since he went to Alabama, what about the Alabama Slammer?  Failing that, Lt. Commander Hunter, the character Denzel Washington played in Crimson Tide.

The best Tiger nickname IMO is Maggs nickname of Singlio cuz hes always getting singles. Im a huge Maggs fan but it cracks me up.

I refuse to call Victor Martinez as V Mart...thats just lame to me. Sometimes I call Cabrera Miggy but I usually just call him Cabrera.

Singlio is by far the funniest. Papa Grande is a pretty cool nickname though.
