Weather permitting, a week from this very moment we will be in the earliest moments of the 2011 season.  As such, I thought it appropriate to start a post where people can post any predictions they want to make, aside from the patently obvious.

I'll start:

1. The back end of the bullpen will be a massive disappointment.

2. ClearChannel (including 104.7 FM) and the Pirates will part ways with the Pirates games ending up on 93.7 The Fan (CBS) starting in 2012.  This will be a very welcome move.

3.  Garrett Jones will prove to be a legitimately worthwhile player in a platoon role.

Good day.
