And on playing time: I'm trying to figure out how to set up a roster that plays through the season. Once you set your ~25m and auto-play through the end, you're kind of stuck, so if Carlos Silva blows out his knee, you want the team to be able to survive but if you carry 28 players all year, your bullpen's super-deep... you see where I'm going with this.

It's always nice to get an early view. You mentioned you were doing it to get an idea of playing times. Did those shake down how you expected/differently? Just curious what you were kind of expecting vs. how they came out. Thanks! Now about Branyan.....(just kidding, just kidding). :) One more question: If we maximized our OF defense by switching Chavez to center with Gutierrez in left, do you think that will lead to an increase in playing time for Chavez or simply a few different looking outfield options?

Just out of curiousity, how did the Rays average out? I would have thought they'd be at the top of the heap. At least for the sake of projections.

The two questions this raises for me are "The Griffey Factor" (Our run prevention isn't necessarily going to rock if he is playing the field.) and run production (The 2002 and 2003 teams had a lot of close, low-scoring games, not all of which they won.)
