"F-Mart" would be far too easy for me. Plus it sounds terrible.

How about "Fartinez"

Why thank you. You might say I pulled that one right out of my ass.

'Fartinez' playing at 'ShittyField' is going to make Val's head explode.

Think of the marketing opportunities: FARTINEZ: SILENT BUT DEADLY!!!!

how about... "young kid who shouldn't be called up until the rosters expand at the earliest"? catchy, isn't it?

Fernando Cortes, the Golden Boy, the Conqueror? I dunno. We shall see how he performs once he gets up here.

How about we call him "Fernando" or "Martinez"? And don't forget, we may very well end up calling him "traded to the Chicago White Sox" or something like that.

I like calling him "Fmart" -- pronouncing it like it's one sound. Like I'm trying to say "smart" but flubbing the first letter.
