I definitely like the first half of your draft - Mantei at #13 in particular is sweet.

Your main concern seems to be starting pitching. Adding a reliable ace would make a huge difference to this team.

Monster,

You got Abreu as I thought you would! I especially like your pick of Valentin at #21. He'll be a nice backup for Beltre.

I agree with Arlo that you might want to go after more solid starters. You seem to like knuckleballers, since you got both Wakefield and Sparks, but they are notoriously fickle. If Wakefield pulls another 2002, you will do well, but there is no guarantee. On the other hand, if Sparks pulls another 2002, you'll be in trouble.

Also, you might not want to play your Montreal pitchers the weeks the Expos play in Puerto Rico, because they are likely to get slammed in that park. If you don't play those pitchers, you'll probably want better pitchers to use in their place.
