Baseball America's crystal ball (and other ridiculous predictions)

Baseball America has released their Preseason Projections for the Field of 64 in the NCAA Regionals. You know, the Regionals that will be held in June AFTER the regular season is over - the season that is still 3-1/2 weeks away from starting.

BA has Mizzou hosting a regional in Columbia, with the tiers as the #1 seed, along with #2 seed Missouri State, #3 Vanderbilt and #4 Illinois-Chicago.

This vital and informative prediction from such an august source of baseball knowledge prompts me to make a few predictions of my own:
  1. The 2009 College Baseball season will begin on February 20th
  2. Augie Garrido will hire former Florida pitcher Stephen Locke as a volunteer assistant for the Longhorns
  3. The weather will be chilly at Simmons Field for several games in March
  4. Baseball America will attend a week's worth of games at the Cape Cod League this coming summer and as a result will name several Cape players in the 2010 Preseason All-Americans list.
  5. Aaron Crow and Kyle Gibson will both be first round draft picks this June
  6. Larry Wyatt II will fail to remain seated longer than 15 minutes in any one spot at Taylor Stadium this season
  7. Barack Obama will run again for president in 2012
  8. In a key game between MU and KU an umpire will call a swing-and-a-miss strike three and the batter will be out
  9. Tex Little will call Kyle "Conner" and Conner "Kyle" throughout much of this season

As always, 9 is the magic number, so I'll quit there. You heard it here first, folks!
