I put the middle-reliever strategy to work in this draft, and ended with some good results. I think my SP's are better than I initially expected them to be. As for the batting, Chone Figgins came in the 5th which is a round later than I've usually seen him go. I missed out on Ryan Zimmerman, but snagged some sleepers at the hot corner late in the draft (Encarnacion and Longoria). Yunel Escobar and Lastings Milledge are playing really well in Spring Training and will probably see a lot of at-bats this season. Anyone see any flaws with this draft that I should look into adjusting during the season/future drafts? WHIR...
