UPDATE: The Randa projections are now closed.
How will new Bucs third baseman Joe Randa perform in 2006? He was respectable in 2005, but he faltered after moving to a pitchers' park in San Diego. He's at the age when players like him tend to decline, but he has been a remarkably consistent player in the last four years.
As always, predict his 2006 batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage in the comments.
The Jack Wilson predictions are still open.
The results so far:
| PLAYER | POS. | COMMUNITY | ZiPS |
| Sean Casey | 1B | .300/.361/.446 | .313/.373/.441 |
| Jose Castillo | 2B | .275/.322/.441 | .277/.325/.394 |
| Jason Bay | LF | .298/.403/.547 | .297/.395/.557 |
| Chris Duffy | CF | .278/.331/.395 | .287/.338/.384 |
| Jeromy Burnitz | RF | .246/.317/.439 | .240/.311/.412 |
These Castillo projections are very interesting. ZiPS thinks he won't get better; the community agrees with ZiPS on the batting average and on-base percentages, but thinks Castillo will blossom into a plus offensive player.
