If I am being a little too cryptic... Here who it is not. It is not Zack Greinke, Jeff Francis, Scott Kazmir or Joe Blanton. Everytime I see Scott Kazmir's name in a box score or mentioned on ESPN, I think to myself.. whatever happened to Mini Roger Clemens.

I believe Gruler is in extended spring training. I don't think anyone has high hopes for him after multiple surgeries. Looks like he is on his way to being compared more to Ty Howington than to Clemens.
how about "mini-Pedro"?
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton

Ramon Ortiz
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
Ryan Anderson was called "little unit" after Randy Johnson, bith tall lefties.
I think he called it quits after 4 or 5 elbow surgeries.
Go Gators!
It seemed even sillier when it came out that he's only about a year younger than Pedro, too.Ramon Ortiz
He pitched for Milwuakee last year, had a couple good games in the minors.. not sure where he's at now though.
Sometimes I wonder what could have been for the Reds..
A rotation of Sowers, Kazmir, Arroyo, Harang, and Claussen would look DAMN fine right about now.

Q) Whatever happened to Kirk Rueter?
A) He was swallowed by Sydney Ponson.
Not sure who mini-clemens is,but these lil dudes rock-it...
