Commenters suspect Rob Dibble new XM 175 AM drive host

• Update: New air shifts for Rob Dibble and Jim Bowden on XM MLB Home Plate, 2/1/10

MLB on XM commenters on XMFan.com heard a promo this weekend on Sirius XM Home Plate about a new morning drive host starting Monday.

• They say the promo disguises the host's voice a bit but that it sounds like Rob Dibble (who has been anchoring an afternoon drive shift on the channel for quite awhile). I tuned in to hear the promo, and it does indeed sound like Rob Dibble.

Jeff Nelson has been filling in this week in Dibble's spot, so it's possible Nelson will replace Dibble in the PM drive slot with Jody Mac.

• I wondered if Dibble was going to be with the Washington Nationals again this year, but can't find anything about it. I did notice the Nats' Fan Fest today, 1/31, says Tim Kurkjian, "baseball television analyst" will be on hand. Whether that means anything about the upcoming season I don't know.
