Hey I got one of them. I knew Cabrera and suspected Martinez, but others beat me to them.

Hollywood
Bluegill
Mongo
Papa Jack (later renamed to Poppa Up)
Disco Dan
Dr. Strangeglove
Rat
Wrench
Thor
Pudge
Sweet Music
This one is not a nickname, but he was known for his Polish army
Cool Breeze
Head
T Rex

I remember Mongo bearing down on second base on a ground ball. The second baseman didn't bother with a relay. He just caught the throw, touched second and kept going to infield grass.
