I think you did pretty well. I'd agree about Sexson and Markakis as starters, and Mora probably would sit on the WW if you needed to pick him up again. Freel's a good option to have on your team because of his versatility so I wouldn't get rid of him. See how the rest of the spring pans out for these guys.
I took the chance on Swisher as well, and hope he has the break-out year everyone is saying he will.
I think your pitching could be a bit better. But pitching is always hit-or-miss anyway once you get past guys like Sabathia and Santana. Kazmir should (if he stays healthy) win at least 15-17 games with A LOT of K's but he's on a team that is suspect. Papelbon has yet to prove himself as a big-league starter but I like the odds. Sheets is going to be consistent as always. Wang ... I passed on him in my draft. Very high ERA with runners on base, especially in scoring position and even though he was a valuable guy on my team last year, the reason he won so much is because the Yanks scored when he started...if it holds true again this year, you've got a gem. Contreras is always getting bad predictions, so who knows - worth a shot if you grabbed him late. Harden has been lights out and is a viable 5th starter without a doubt. I think you could have done better with your RP's though. Though not terrible, you never know...
Decent bench too.
