That makes 58 guys for 25 spots. And, of course, there are probably only 2 spots in question, at most, barring injury. That's why we should also predict a few other things. Below is the template for leaving your predictions down in the thread.
The winner gets a personal Tweet from a Red Reporter staff writer sent "@" their Twitter account sometime this season. Or maybe something slightly better (or worse), if we can empty out the office swag closet.
Predictions:
You can account for the landing spots of all 58 players in camp if you like. All predictions have an ETA of Opening Day 2013.
You'll get more points for predicting the disabled list, released, assigned (non-roster) and traded players. And bonus points for saying who will be in the "first cut."
