I went into the draft with the intention of not leaving my MI until the end of the draft like I seem to always do this year.
I think I could have used a very reliable arm in place of maybe Kershaw or Baker to give me some reliability.
I sorely misjudged when the RP were going.
I felt good up until I took Ellsbury in the 6th. Am I taking too many OF too early?
Any criticisms are more than appreciated though I do prefer those of the constructive variety. Thanks.
Also, I think Hank was in this draft, but I'm not entirely sure. If he's "hankthetank" on MDC, then that was him. He had a sick draft actually.

Looks like a pretty solid team. You might want to watch out for Ellsbury. Member the Sawx even benched him in the playoffs. I like him, I'm just saying to be careful. The 6th round is about where he goes, and you needed speed, so it's not awful. Just throwing up a caution flag.
I also like your pitching, but, and this is a small caveat, Billingsley, Lackey, Gallardo and Kershaw all have small warnings on them. Billingsley threw a few too many innings last year, but he's a workhorse and I'm not too worried. Lackey is a bit injury-prone. Gallardo had a pretty bad injury but should be fine and Kershaw's young with lots of BBs. So they can all be all right, but together it's risky.
