Well, over here in The Locker Room, we wish it was so.

Obviously, it's not going to happen for a while. But when it does, a pitcher to keep an eye on this spring is Libertyville High junior Troy Barton. He's a 6-foot-6 righty who throws bullets and looks like he's the kind of you guy will be able to say -- 10 years from now -- I saw the kid pitch in high school.

He actually worked 5 innings for Libertyville on Tuesday in a game in Scottsdale, Ariz., and fanned nine.
