Utley usually goes late in the second round, so I knew that he wouldn't be there next time around. I didn't feel bad about taking him with the 14th pick. BTW - the guy who picked 10th took Peavy in the first round.
You just need to decide if you're better at sniffing out good starting pitching or finding a position-valued sleeper in the middle rounds. I usually do a good job with SP, so I filled my need at 2B early.
