Probably a reliever, right?

[JulE6]

Can I get dibs on Carlos Zambrano in the pool?

[Foulkey Reese]

It's an NL pitcher

Press F5 every five seconds.

Thank you, Desmond

Ooh! When do we find out which arm he pitches with?

This is like a more annoying version of Guess Who?

[Foulkey Reese]

It's an NL pitcher who has an E in his name and was born in the summer.

[loshjott]

I liked this thread better when it was going to be Teixeira.

Does he wear a hat?

Don't think you can call him "semi-big but not huge".

This is pretty much the downside of the Twitter era. Remember when reporters where responsible and tried to confirm stories? Now....you don't even need a story anymore.

Technically Brad Penny was born in the Spring.

[dwightinright]

Make sure everyone lets me know how it affects their fantasy teams.

[rembrat]

I'm going with Matt Cain.

[foulkehampshire]

Thank you, Desmond

He dies today.

[E5 Yaz]

That only matters if the pitcher dies; then you get a rebate

[Bowlerman9]

Jon Niese. Little known fact: He's using a steroid needle from Roger Clemens to hold his leg together.

[ngruz25]

I'm so calling Derek Lowe. Or Cole Hamels.

[JohntheBaptist]

Is Chris Carpenter a huge name or a medium-big name?

[dylanmarsh]

Dan Haren.

[Razor Shines]

I'll go with old buddy Anibal Sanchez. Though it may be pushing the limits of "semi-big name".

[Lars The Wanderer]

Kevin Correia

[Danny_Darwin]

Billy Wagner

EDIT: or Bronson Arroyo.

My guess it's somebody coming off a season ending injury last year who forgot to get a therapeutic waiver and fucked up bigtime as a result.

[CoolPapaBellhorn]

Jamie Moyer, please

[zapo]

this sucks. this has gone from Teixeria to Anibal Sanchez, something awesome to a complete non-event. Ok, it's not Anibal Sanchez, but I'm sure it's going to be someone just as significant (totally not significant).
My money's on Russ Ortiz. Does he still play? who cares if he does or not.

[hunter05]

Chris Young!!

[zapo]

Fister, i hardly know her, hah

[I am an Idiot]

Pedro Martinez. There. I said it. Well-known, not a star anymore. E in the name, NL pitcher. Shame shame.

[Terras]

Ryan Dempster.

[Laser Show]

Only thing is Pedro wasn't in camp with anyone during the spring. He's still not on a roster.

[NoLastCall125]

Carpenter was my first pick, but since someone already said it, I'm going with Randy Wolf.

[walkoffblast]

I am going for Tim Hudson after latest round of clues. Will be back to pointlessly guess again when they tell us it is an RP from the central. They finally found a way to mkae the borefest that is the news nowadays half interesting.

[Al Zarilla]

Josh Johnson

[I am an Idiot]

Orlando Hudson.

EDIT: Dammit beaten by seconds

[Doug Beerabelli]

I don't have a guess, but I bet the pitcher is hiding out in Al Capone's vault.

[bsj]

I'll go with old friend Brad Penny. He's on a one year deal. He's 32. A big year here could net him that one more big contract.

[amarshal2]

Kevin Correia

He added a cutter, not MPH's.

[glennhoffmania]

Orlando Hudson.

Racist.

It's John Maine.

[Lukiewerle]

Ryan Franklin

[crow216]

Brandon Webb

[DaughtersofDougMirabelli]

I think it's gonna be a big name. Possibly the biggest yet...

Ryan Rowland-Smith.

[glennhoffmania]

Wait I change my vote. It's Jeff Weaver. It seems that every ex-Yankee has cheated and he fits the description.

[cheekydave]

Can we make this a daily double and combine it with the Tommy John prediction thread? Maybe the dude can be on both lists.

[dwightinright]

Dammit, how long ago did they say "imminent"?

[jon abbey]

How about Barry Zito?

[Lars The Wanderer]

How about Barry Zito?

Ooh! Good call. Improved performance since the 2nd half last year and off to a hot start this year.

Except he doesn't have an "E" in his name.

[bosockboy]

Zambrano....he's dumb enough to, and he's barely clinging to the reputation as an ace.

[bsj]

How about Barry Zito?

I thought about Zito before picking Penny...thing is, not sure what the incentive is for Zito...he has a few years left on his current deal, where he is being paid a boat load of cash.

[FelixMantilla]

Looks like it's Edinson Volquez.

EDIT: What do I win?
