Announced Starters

I had removed the hidden tag for Cole Hamels as he is the announced starting pitcher for Opening Day. I believe to fulfill full comprehensiveness, the announced starter for the upcoming season should be added to the list with an antidote that he is the announced starter as the game has not been played yet.--Flyguy33 (talk) 02:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CRYSTAL states, "Avoid predicted sports team line-ups, which are inherently unverifiable and speculative." This falls clearly and fully under that category. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 02:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
