9/10, similar to my drafting style. good team.
You got your studs early (Braun, Wright, C.C), picked up some sleepers (Butler, Hunter, Nolasco, Baker), and got some low-risk, high-reward players at the end (Harden, De La Rosa, Polanco, Hart, Sheets).
You are weak at RP, but saves can be found on the waiver wire ("Don't pay for saves!" -Matthew Berry). I don't play on ESPN (play on Yahoo), but I think they start 5 OF. Maybe try for another OF, but Coughlan/Hart is fine in that last slot. Same for Escobar at SS, he is serviceable.
Overall, a very solid team! Have a list of sleepers in mind when going to your real draft. Get as many of them as you can (at a resonable cost, of course). Don't be afraid of post-hype sleepers and reliable, but not "sexy" players (like Polanco and Hart). Keep doing what you are doing, manage your team throughout the season, and you should have great success. Good luck!
Also, as a side note, I would take Kemp over Braun, but that is just personal preference ;)
