It seems there is much work to be done. Jr. is a big risk with the potential of high reward. I hope you didn't use a high pick on him. I think you still lack a solid pitching staff too. Vazquez and Clemens will be good for wins but their other numbers may not end up being as good as you like. Wood is very good and should contribute nicely. One more ace would be nice as well as several hitters. All in all that may be too much to make up after the draft. Good luck.

I suggest to punt saves and concentrate on holds by picking up some middle relievers. You have hawkins as a nice platform as long as he continues to set-up. Conine and Lofton can be dropped. Just my opinions...
