you may have reached at catcher and at third base given who you got, but I like Helton in round 13, Saito in round 9 and gonzalez in 16...you might do well do bench/drop Kemp for another speed outfielder. I can see yo uwanting Helton in the lineup for Avg and then you can't get upton's speed in there easily (his avg might not be that great)...did someone like Freel or Gathright linger? You might swap out Kemp OR upton for one of these guys. Upton becasue he will have similar stas and I think you may want tohave more flexibility in your OF...

Please rate my team

Kemp might have been a reach because it isn't certain how much actual time he will get to play with Bigbie, who had a very good spring, and Brady Clark, utility OF just acquired from Brewers, ahead of him.

I like Upton especially if he plays 2B everyday with Cantu in the minors... he could be special.

The only real "holes" or weaknesses on your roster is your 3rd OF slot, pending the play of Kearns, and 3B. I'm not really high on Tracy and I don't expect him to have a good year.

If Schmidt can get his ST woes out of the way and pitch well, and if Sanchez can deal for the Marlins, then your pitching staff will be very solid. Your RPs look good though Izzy's hip is a concern. Hip injury aside you have some good relievers in Linebrink, Gonzalez, and Tankersley who should get some oppurtunities to pickup some saves for you also and help out your ratios.

Who's available in FA? I personally think you should let go of Kemp for another OF.

Thanks for the help! Good luck.
