Strengths

Great youth. Lots of high quality prospects. Loaded OF.

Weaknesses

Few hot cards. Pitching, especially relief.

Assessment

Depending on the willingness of others to make deals and the strengths of the draft, this team could actually be a competitor if we made some moves. Given what you said about Reyes injury, this could be the time to unload him for maximum value. Those OF could be turned for other positions.
