This team is solid, but not amazing. I really feel you reached on Crawford, though getting Teix with the fifth pick of the second round somewhat mitigates. It could contend if Young and Rios both live up to their potential, but this looks destined to finish fourth or so unless you make some good trades or pickups.

One thing i would advise is to pick up at least one outfielder for your bench, you'll want the option of slotting a guy in on a TB off day.

It looks like you need another starter behind Oswalt. Crawford is a stretch as a 1st round pick, but your team doesn't look that bad. I would think about trading Beltre and one of your closers for a better 3rd baseman, amybe someone like Zimmerman, or even Atkins if you're lucky.
