Maybe a bit early, but you probably were looking for an ace there. However, my commit of 8rd for Cole would be way too late. 4-5rd seems reasonable.

But could you have any more Phillys? Geeeezzzzz. I like the power in the infield. OF is a very shallow position this year. I think you did well by not drafting the OF studs. You waited for value picks in later rounds. You drafted your speed in the OF, although not very much of it. I do not think that you have enough speed. Your starting pitching is OK. When RJ comes off of the DL, and if he can stay some what healthy, he will help your SP. I think he will pitch more than 150 innings and will be a big asset in the K category. I am not a believer in Brett Myers. I just do not think he is cut out to be a SP. However, Cole and Daren are two good picks. I imagine you took them in rounds 8-10. If so good job. Cole should put together a better year than last and will help in multiple categories. You do not have a top closer, but Borowski is the type of guy that finds his way on to my teams. He is not sexy enough to be with the elite guys but he always ends up with around 40 saves. However, Rafel Batencourt will challenge for that job. Todd Jones is over the hill but somehow keeps his job. Too many options behind him this could be the year he loses it.
