Carlos Guevara
While he's hardly the next Fernando Valenzuela, Carlos Guevara throws a screwball, and that's cool enough for us. A Rule 5 pick from the Reds last winter, the Padres were able to hide Guevara on the roster early in the season due to a groin strain, and they finally got permission from the Reds to keep him in exchange for "future considerations." Guevara\'s scroogie is actually a plus offering that makes hitters look silly, but it's also his only big-league caliber pitch, leaving him firmly in the one-trick Carlos category. - Baseball Prospectus 2009
