11th position out of 12, it was pretty wise to grab Zambrano in the second round.  You know how I feel about Crawford.  I would like to see who came AFTER him in the draft.  If you chose Crawford over, say an Utley, Jason Bay, Matt Holliday, or Mark Teixiera, it was a big mistake in my opinion.

Cuddyer that late is your best pick and potentially the steal of the draft.

You have some MAJOR power issues, as I am sure you are aware.  That is bound to happen with you pick 11 of 12.

Pitching is really going to be a problem, too.

Personally, I think I would try and do these things... trade Victor Martinez and a junk pitcher/junk outfielder for a stud pitcher/stud OF and an average/junk catcher.  Russ Martin will be very servicable for you.  Dump the new catcher and monitor the free agent wires for a new closer, surprising pitcher, or surprising power hitting OF.

Also, pray that Chipper Jones gets 550 ABs.

Without seeing the other teams, I think you have some tough times ahead, but I would be extremely happy for you to prove me wrong!
