If DB would have taken Santana as I expected him to, it would have thrown off my entire draft. I may even had taken Lincecum.
In a way I think that might have made my draft a little better. I have a feeling Sabathia is going to have a better year than Lincecum, and I would have taken him with that pick instead but, I'm too much a homer.
I feel like I had a much more solid draft this year. Last year I goofed when I realized I had filled all my other positions but forgot to draft a 3B. This year I'm happy to have solid players at hard to fill positions (Hanley Ramirez, Brian Roberts, Geovany Soto) and I'm hoping for a couple of rebound seasons in Carl Crawford and Aaron Harang. I'm also surprised Vernon wells lasted to the 18th round.
Like JG said though, it definitely helps to have a couple less teams this year. It makes us all feel happy about our drafts before the season starts. Then we can start worrying and try to make trades...
