What is the significance behind Travis Hafner's nickname "Pronk"? What does it mean?

I was wondering the same thing so I looked online I found this Hafner was given the nickname "Pronk" by former teammate Bill Selby during spring training when people would sometimes refer to him as "The Project" and other times "Donkey" for the way he looked when running the bases.

Yeah, I remembered the donkey part. For one game, the Indians even made a Pronk chocolate bar and handed it out to all the fans who came to that particular game.

My aunt still has an Albert Belle bar saved in her freezer... Yeah she's weird... I just hope she never eats it.

Prospect and Project Donkey. Either word because he says both of them. He was given the name back in high school.
