mid-March playing time guesses

I’m guessing the Bucs do not acquire anyone. No Juan Encarnacion, no Eric Byrnes, no Alex Sanchez, no Bobby Abreu. The Bucs should finish 2005 with roughly 5750 plate appearances. They had 5743 last year. I’ll guess 700 at first and left field, 675 everywhere else, and make up the difference (300) with a miscellaneous category. FWIW, 100 plate appearances roughly equals one full month of starting.

Jack Wilson: 600 ss
Craig Wilson: 600 ttl (225 1b, 350 rf, 25 lf)
Jose Castillo: 550 2b
Ty Wigginton: 550 ttl (475 3b, 75 misc)
Jason Bay: 525 ttl (400 lf, 125 cf)
Rob Mackowiak: 500 ttl (75 rf, 25 lf, 200 3b, 100 cf, 100 misc)
Matt Lawton: 450 ttl (250 rf, 200 lf)
Tike Redman: 425 cf
Daryle Ward: 400 1b
Benito Santiago: 350 c
Humberto Cota: 250 c
Bobby Hill: 200 ttl (100 2b, 100 misc)
Freddy Sanchez: 100 ttl (25 2b, 75 ss)
Brad Eldred: 75 1b
Ryan Doumit: 75 c
Ben Grieve: 50 lf, 25 misc
Chris Duffy: 25 cf

In my spreadsheet, that adds up to 37.5323 wins. The pitchers add up to 43.4576, for a total of 80.9899 wins.
