Just wanted to throw one in I hadn't thought of before, inspired by the thread from a few days ago on nicknames...

I'd like to see the nicknames file (make that "nick_names" file) utilize conditions to determine which nicknames are given to which players. I was thinking the file could include conditions for traits like handedness, height/weight, position, nationality, speed and power. This would eliminate misnomers like "Lefty" for a right-handed player, "The Big... (anything)" for a player who's only 5'6'' and 155 lbs, "Flamethrower" for a DH, "Frenchy" for a Japanese player, "Zippy" for a player with a speed rating of 2, or "Ball Crusher" for a player who has 7 career homeruns over 12 seasons.
