I have never heard Batista referred to as "Miggy," but Tejada and Cabrera? Maybe not on national TV (I don't watch much of it, because it blows), but on other sports (non-Cardinal) message boards that I visit? Very commonplace.
In fact, I'd go as far to say that, collectively, people call them "Miggy" more than they call them "Miguel" -- and this is not including Card/Oriole/Marlin fans.

Re: Calling them the Miggys
My Oriole fan friends inform me that Miguel Tejada has "Miggi" stitched on his wristbands and is rountinely called that by almost everyone.
