The word "spoonerism" is defined as "a humorous mistake in which a writer switches the sounds of two or more words." I thought it would be fun to do this with the names of Twins players. I will rank the Twins roster based on how cool their name sounds when you switch the first letters of their first and last names. So, without further ado...
25. Hhil Pughes
IT'S A DOUBLE H RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
24. Pyan Rressly
Oh man. Oh man, oh man. Not again.-Drake in "Back to Back." Also my reaction to seeing Ryan Pressly's spoonerism.
23. Mevor Tray
Mevor Tray sounds like a brand of school lunch trays and I will stand by this fact until I die.
22. Moe Jauer
#BOOJAUER
21. Rohn Myan Jurphy
This one was hard because JRM has three names he used. Also "Jurphy" kinda sounds like that made up color from "The Wiggles" where they mixed green and purple and called it "gurple"
20. Nduardo Eunez
I desperately wanted to put this one dead last but there was something about the ones above it that made this one crack the top 20.
19. Eduardo Escobar
>sips coffee
this is fine
18. Aswaldo Orcia
Orcia looks and sounds like someone just misspelled "orca" and just ran with it.
17. Jevin Kepsen
>sighs
i'm living in a pangster's garadise
16. Nicky Rolasco
This could actually be a believable name for a person. Like if Ricky Nolasco woke up one day and decided he wanted to be named Nicky Rolasco no one would bat an eye.
15. Drian Bozier
>turns on bullhorn
DULL BOZIER
14. Tichael Monkin
to be completely honest i didn't know where to put this one.
13. Prevor Tlouffe
This reminds me of the French word "s'etouffer" which means "to choke."
12. Dyler Tuffey
This is actually a pretty good name for a pitcher.
11. Sanny Dantana
Why not? We already call him Dantana anyway.
10. Pyung Bo Hark
Again with the three names. At least this one sounds cool
9. Aernando Fbad
This one made me crack up. I don't know why.
8. Bose Jerrios
Sounds like a headphone model. The Bose Jerrios.
7. Fasey Cien
Fasey At The Bat
6. Surt Kuzuki
This is good. This is fine.
5. Plen Gerkins
/sighs again
cod's gonna gut you down
4. Siguel Mano
10/10
3. Srvin Eantana
Srvin sounds like serving and Ervin is serving up strikeouts. It works.
2. Rddie Eosario
This is funny I don't understand why it's funny.
