31. The Bourn Supremacy

Michael Bourn — 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?

Steve Cishek Miami Marlins

15. Breaking Necks and Cashner Cisheks

Steve Cishek Miami Marlins — 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.

Jurickson Profar Texas Rangers

2. But We've Come Profar

Jurickson Profar Texas Rangers — 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.
