Joakim Soria no longer wants to be known as the "Mexicutioner"

Quote:
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- There is a long and storied history to baseball nicknames, from Ted Williams (the Splendid Splinter) to Randy Johnson (the Big Unit) to Babe Ruth (the Sultan of Swat).

Kansas City closer Joakim Soria has a nickname he wants no part of.

The Royals pitcher said that "The Mexicutioner" has a negative connotation and is a particularly jarring choice given the drug violence racking his homeland. He is from Monclova in the northern state of Coahuila.

"It's been really bad in Mexico right now," Soria said Wednesday. "There are a lot of guns in Mexico. It's out of control right now.

...
We should all come up with new nicknames to help the kid out.

It's been obvious for a long time that he's playing hurt. He's a guy who has tried to play through pain before, too. His new cutter that he's obsessed with isn't helping matters one bit, though. Just speculation, but that cutter might even be the reason he's hurt. I don't know why the organization gave the OK on him learning a cutter.

Maybe he'll have another surgery and be back to his old self by '13.

Why does everybody keep saying that? I know being hurt doesn't always translate to velocity, but he's not losing velocity. I've been to 2 of the last 6 home games and he pitched in both. He was throwing 92-95 consistently.

This is true, in so far as I can tell from one home game during the last homestand and on FSN's radar gun. Difference is he can't locate pretty much anything except a fastball so straight it'd make Ambiorix Burgos say "Dude, really?" His delivery is ****ed up compared to seasons past. I think it's CLEAR that he's pitching through an injury.

Looking at his Pitch FX data this season, there is no doubt that Soria is broken.

The question is whether or not he can come back from this - without seeing Dr. Andrews and going through surgery.

Unfortunately I am not overly optimistic.

Which is reasonable considering this is the last guaranteed year of his contract. We have team options each year beyond this one.
