I disagree with pretty much everything you said there. Hamilton's a fair pick at 7, who would you take? Hamilton's going to give you MVP caliber #s in almost every category and he's 27 this season, the magic #. Howard and Kinsler have gone 8/9 in one of my leagues and 10/11 in the other, they're both late 1st, early 2nd round picks in nearly every league.
In a re-draft league, if you think Utley will take a month to get healthy, Kinsler's more valuable. Or, if you like Kinsler's SB potential, he also could be. Kinsler was looking like the far stronger bet than Utley as the season progressed last season, until the hand injury. He's also a few years younger, entering his prime years. Utley's on the tail end of his prime years.
Ultimately I'd probably take Utley ahead of Kinsler, but there's definitely a strong argument that could be made in favor of Kinsler.
As to the OP, work on that OF in a hurry. I see Damon as barely above replacement level and Young doesn't even reach that (I've never understood the Young hype, even his minor league peripherals don't suggest anything more than a slightly above average player).
You're hurting pretty badly for power. Even if it's a one trick pony like Cust or Swisher, you've gotta add some pop to that lineup. I like the A-Rod pick, he's falling under a lot of radars. I grabbed him at 35 in my league.
