If Nick is Magic man I wouldn't mind Eloy being Rocket man.

Ultimately the nickname will whatever seems natural, not forced

Like "Bacon"

I suppose EE-loy is a nickname in it's own way since he's said it's pronounced eh-LOY

What about The Little Magician

The chat has been quite clear on that nickname, violently so. 

I'm going to call him "Madrigal" who is with me?!

Here Here!

How about "The Madman"?

If you are thinking about what comes natural, its probably just going to be "Mads" or some abbreviated form.

In the end, the whole nickname discussion is superfluous. Even if we unanimously decided on Mads, that doesn't mean Jason or the team will adopt it. 

Really, we're discussing pet names here more than nicknames. And if that's the case, who cares if everyone else uses the same one? If you call him any of the suggestions here, we know who you're talking about. If it helps make you a bigger fan of the player, just use your favorite.

Except the little magician. That's just trash.

Magic Man is good if he even needs a nickname. Putting 'Little' in front of a male's name is sickening. The poor guy would be miserable.

I think we would need to consult "The Little Hurt" Craig Grebeck to determine if this is factual.

Also Madrigals walk up music needs to be Strange Magic.

in honor of one of the most annoying little slap hitters of all time: little nicky madrigal.

Eloy is the bessss

Was Craig Grebeck really "The Little Hurt?" Such a dumb name. I mean he hit some balls hard but was not a good hitter.

I didn't realize you thought Hawk Harrelson was so dumb.

I can't recall a nickname that ever really panned out when it was forced or consciously sought out (and then pushed for) by fans or media. 

True nicknames are something that just happen. If you're already fighting to find one, it's probably not coming. 

The name helps... which is why a version of "magician" "magical" or "magic man" could stick for Madrigal. "Nick Magical" or Nick "The Magic Man' Madrigal.

Blasphemy!  Next, you will be trying to say that Abreu won’t be able to hit until he’s 40.

They called Beckham "Bacon" because Ozzie butchers the English language with his thick Latin American accent. When Ozzie would say "Beckham" it sounded like he was saying "bacon"

I preferred his "Slayer" nickname personally... for the story there.
