Notes:

Aubrey Huff has one of the best hitting projections of any 2001 rookie. Will he play?
Toby Hall's projection is surprisingly strong. A possible factor if injuries strike.
I've always liked Mike Metcalfe as a utility infielder for a MLB team.
Tampa's AAA affiliate should be a power this year for what it's worth.
