CASTOFFS
As you know, the Angel-Giant Suck Exchange discussed here last week has come to pass.
Edgardo Alfonzo is the newest Angel; he should slide into a role as a late-inning defensive substitute at third base and occasional starter at third or second against tough lefties. Neither Alfonzo nor Steve Finley came close to earning their contracts last year, but The Fonz still appears to have some defensive value, which means he should come a lot closer than Father Time in 2006.
I don't really have anything else to give you on this one. So I'll just give you my highly amateur projection for Alfonzo in 2006 (UPDATE: The playing time is based on his past performance, not my expectation of how often he'll play in '06):

I was thinking the same thing -- 455 AB?!?! Barring serious injuries to multiple players, do you really foresee Scoscia giving Fonzie 455 AB's . . . ?

Well, that's just based on his past performance. I could guesstimate projected playing time onto the spreadsheet ...
Based on Fonzie's past performance or Scoscia's past performance -- that is, Scoscia's habit of playing offensively-challenged vets?
