Indians News and Notes: "Smiling Assassin" Francisco Lindor shoots down Toronto in Game 1

What do you call Francisco Lindor? Most of the great nicknames are taken. He can't be The Kid - the obvious nickname. There's nothing that presents itself that would bee a play on his name. After last night, I propose "The Smiling Assassin." He's a cool customer who will kill you with his glove as well as his bat. He makes the ridiculous look easy. Last night, he timed up Marco Estrada, a feat that baffled most of his teammates, and stuck a dagger in the Toronto Blue Jays.
