The First Boyd of Spring

Boyd is back, so the baseball season can't be far behind! Boyd Nation has his first 2010 pre-season material posted at the always informative Boyd's World.

• Boyd has Team Schedule Calendars for every D-1 team. Click and download to your Outlook Calendar.
  
  
• Intended Strength of Schedule numbers for every D-1 team. I crunched MU's schedule numbers on my own a few weeks back, but Boyd's is quite different, based on his ISR rankings. He shows Mizzou with the 25th toughest intended strength of schedule in all Division I. Fellow Big 12 team Baylor is #1, with 4 other conference teams joining BU and MU in the top 25. An interesting set of rankings, considering most pundits are predicting the Big 12 to have an overall down year.
  
  
• He also has a list of returning career statistical leaders. The Big 12 has surprisingly few players on those rankings.
