Name Associations

When I looked at the box scores the other day, I noticed a guy named Hensley was pitching for the Marlins. It made me think of ex-Met Jerry Dean Hinsley. Are there any current players who evoke memories of past players when you see their names? Who are they? Later

I briefly conflated Pat Neshek and David Newhan the other night, even though one's a pitcher and the other only hit like one.

Monk's KTE reminded me that I conflate Jonathan Lucroy with Matt LeCroy.

Gavin Floyd makes me think of Oil Can. Also, this Miguel Cairo on the Reds reminds me of a player that used to play in Flushing by the same name. Even looked the same. He was just a whole lot older, IIRC.
