 Hey, fans! The Gwinnett Braves totally need your help naming their new rodent mascot ! Yeah, they hired a big time &quot; branding group &quot; from New York City but all those ad wizards on Madison Avenue could come up with was this chubby buck-toothed woodchuck fella who&#39;s totally in your face!

To that end, he plans to contact Peabody native Jeff Allison, who was a first-round draft pick of the Florida Marlins. After years of drug abuse, Allison is back playing professional baseball.
