Drafted out of the 10th spot. Waited on pitchers and catchers. Did not intend to punt on saves. Computer issue in 19th round, although Jimenez is pretty good. Took Grey's advice on possible catching tandems. Looks pretty decent. Any thoughts? My team the Flaming Axe Wielders derived from Grey's cool team name maker is listed below followed by the entire draft.

Your hitters are a hundred times better than the last draft I looked at for you. I really like it, that's an offense that will compete for the championship. On the other hand, your pitching -- eh. I don't mind the closers you grabbed at the end, they could end up being steals of the (mock) draft, but your starters are uninspiring. I like Oswalt, but he's not K'ing enough people anymore. Just taking a quick glance at the draft below, I would've went for Beckett. Then after Oswalt you have Slowey, Wang, Lowe... Well, you know what you have. Sonnanstine and Saunders? Not good. When in doubt, take Ks and WHIP and forget Wins and ERA. My favorite pitcher on your team is Ubaldo and Rudy's doing a post tomorrow that could spell doom for him too.

I agree w/ Grey - your mock hitting looks to be of mock championship caliber. But your mock pitching is pretty weak. Just to throw it out there: perhaps instead of Delgado and DeRosa in your R11 P10 and R12 P1, you could have used those two picks to grab one or two #2 pitchers with upside. Gallardo, Volquez, Nolasco all went a few picks later.
