MLB's Best Prospect Name Ever

Over the years, there have been some awesomely named sports stars like Dick Butkus, Jim Bob Cooter, Lucious Pusey, Dick Trickle, Coco Crisp, Fabian Assman, Dick Pole, Ben Gay, Fair Hooker, I.M. Hipp, and Misty Hyman.  All of those are real people and if anything can be learned from that list, it's that you shouldn't name your kid Dick.  (Side Story - I had a friend in college whose name was Richard Goodenough, in other words, his name was Dick Goodenough and he was damn proud of telling people that.)  However, I recently read about a Chicago Cubs prospect whose name is Rock Shoulders.  Yeah, Rock Shoulders.  How awesome is that!  Sure, his real first name is Roderick, but calling him Rock isn't that far of a stretch and his name might be the most perfect name ever for a baseball player.  I just had to share this guy's name with everyone because it was so awesome.  You're welcome.

"See, I told you this guy actually exists.  He is even already winner awards for being awesomely named."
