Luis Rivas home runs hit in Missouri: 8 (all on the road)
Needless to say, I think that "prediction" was a little off.
The catastrophe: Rivas keeps earning more plate appearances with every homerun.
A) Play well in spring training, justifying his presence as 25th man on the roster for at least the first couple weeks of the season.
B) Have Jack Wilson get injured, justifying his continued presence as 25th man on the roster.
C) Have Brian Bixler not exactly light up the league Tulowitzki-style
D) When Jack Wilson returns, have the team apparently forget about Josh Wilson's existence, or figure out that he is just Jack Wilson in a wig, or both.
I think the Reds have two that top that - Mike Lincoln AND Kent Mercker.
Glendon Rusch and Shawn Estes have been a treat to watch again.
Chan Ho Park is back. Hideo Nomo came back briefly.
And Gabe Kapler coming back is kinda amazing.
And Barry Bonds somehow is still sitting at home.
It's uncanny how many of the Pirates' veteran acquisitions never played again in the majors. Derek Bell, Pat Meares, Chris Stynes, Joe Randa, Jeromy Burnitz, Matt Morris. Probably others I'm forgetting. Considering that they don't acquire that many veteran players, that's an astounding % of the total acquisitions.
I'm really glad that Lincoln was able to come back, even if he's not actually playing all that well. He's had to do a hell of a lot of work to get his arm back into shape, and he's not exactly a guy who made a pile before he got hurt.

Benito Santiago, Ramon Martinez, Mike Benjamin, Brian Boehringer, and Jeff Reboulet, too.
I think that some of it is just false pattern recognition, though. I mean, there are almost as many veteran ex-Bucs who looked totally done here, but still staggered through part of another season with somebody else: Mike Williams, Randall Simon, Jeff D'Amico, Jose K, etc. And then there are a few vets who looked totally done in Pittsburgh, but rebounded in other cities (with Daryle Ward being a prime example).
