Your top picks could have been a lot better. For instance, you could have waited for the third round to draft Felix Hernandez.
I did not know that.

Hanley is a good choice,
Yay!

but Lilly? I assume you edited him, but really, #3 probably is way too high if you edited him at all realistically.
Yeah... I kinda wandered over to the Cubs page and... did something stupid. Same goes for Wood.

Why'd you get Kotchman at #4? Especially considering how you got Conor Jackson at #17. You could have gotten Prince Fielder in round 7.
I was just going for a young and cheap slugger. Kotchman is far cheaper and I value his higher contact rating more than Fielder's higher power rating. Just a personal preference there. I'll see if I can get him later and get something like a speed guy in his place. Duffy is a poor replacement for that role.

Carmona is a poor choice at #5, he's normally available at 6 or 7 and he usually doesn't sim well (ERA's in the 4's).I'd rather have Lincecum, Oswalt, or Cain.
I don't totally remember, but I think I relied on the search function for this one.

Soto at 6 isn't too bad, depending on how you edited him, but I'd like to add that Brian McCann usually is available at 7.
I don't remember McCann's and Soto's stats, but I'll keep this in mind and compare them later.

Tom Gorzellany seems to be a poor pick at #7, Pirates teammates Zack Duke and Paul Maholm are both better and should be available at about the same time.
I don't think those 2 were actually available at that point.

Hunter Pence is a great choice at #8, and from then on your choices are pretty good. Your bench and minor league are quite solid. Overall, not a bad draft. It's perfect for developing the younger players over the season, and isn't too easy, so it's quite a good draft for the young a cheap team you were looking for.
Hope this helped!
YAY!
