Clayton Kershaw = 'Lanky Ace Throws' and 10 other MLB name anagrams

A name can say a lot about a person. But if you take that name, jumble around the letters and make new words, it can say even more. Maybe.

Take these for instance:

Paul Goldschmidt -- 'Dulls Pitch Dogma'

Sorry, pitchers -- Goldschmidt doesn't play by your rules.

Justin Verlander -- 'Ulnar-Driven Jets'

Tommy John surgery fixes the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). Verlander's elbow is going quite strong.

Mat Latos -- 'Also, Matt'

Also, Cat!

Prince Fielder -- 'Epic Nerd Rifle'

(or, 'Crepe Rifled In' if you're a mean person)

Joey Votto -- 'To Veto Joy'

For the opposing team, that is.

Evan Longoria -- 'No Avian Ogler'

Longo isn't watching Baltimore or Toronto in the standings.

Manny Machado -- 'No Achy Madman'

Machado may be sore four months into the season, but he's still sane.

Adrian Beltre -- 'Blade Trainer'

This is just awesome.

Miguel Cabrera -- 'Bear Magic Lure'

If the Cubs move to Detroit, well, now we'll know why.

Mariano Rivera -- 'ERA via iron arm'

This is seriously eerie.

Clayton Kershaw -- 'Whacks Ornately', 'Lanky Ace Throws', or 'Thorny Ace Walks'

Basically, Clayton Kershaw was born to play baseball.
