What can we call this behemoth of the West? Savior was taken by Chase Headley so thats gone. My favorite so far is "Big Ant". Another I thought of was "Saint Anthony". Oh well, whatcha got?
We'll have to wait until he plays before the proper nickname pops up naturally.
Like the base runner rounding third ahead of a home run who tripped over the bag, landed on his chin and knocked himself out. The Home run hitter had to pick him up, carry him to the plate, put him down on it, then tag the plate himself to get credit for the homer. Afterward, the baserunner was known as “glass jaw”.
I'd just call him "Sir".

I'm going to wait until I see him in action to decide on a nickname
But I like “Saint Anthony” But it doesn’t roll very smoothly off the tounge

I like St. Anthony as well.

I think we should just start referring to everyone who has been called up from the minors after Headley as a saint.
Saint Luke
Saint Mat
Saint Christopher
Saint Aaron
Saint Cory
Saint Ernesto
And the newly canonized:
Saint Anthony

Tony the Tiger? Tony the Rizzo? T-Rizzo? T-R-Longball? Lefty? Mr. Mash?

We should call him "Deckland Awesome-tits"
because the first name is awesome and manly
and the last name, well thats obvious.

How about "Butt-Scratcher?"

GLB nicknames: creative, but mostly inappropriate.
I don’t think we’re on the consultation list.

In keeping with the religious references,
and with a tip of the cap to the man who brought him here, how about “The Hoyer Power”

He could be The RZA, but only if he earns it
