16 Team - 15 Keeper Draft Tonight ---Need Help!

Okay, it's the second year of a 16 team, H2H, 15 keeper league. So 448 players will be drafted without even counting the DL. I inherited my team half way through last season. I've listed my team so far below and the available players as well. I draft 3rd out of 16 in a snake format. I'm thinking of loading up on pitching in order to hit my pitching limits (68 gp for batters and 12 gs for pitchers) but am open to all advice. Also, any thoughts on the scoring format?

Scoring is as follows: Hitting: Singles:.5, Doubles:1,Triples:1.5, HRs:2, Total Bases:.5, Walks:1, Runs Scored:1, RBIs:1, Stolen Bases:1, K's:-.2, Caught Stealing:-1
Pitching: Innings Pitched:2, Wins:10, Saves:8, K's:1, Complete Games:2, Shutout:4, Perfect Game:10, Walks:-.5, Earned Runs:-1, Losses:-5, Blown Saves:-2, Hits Allowed:-.5

C: M. Naploi, 1B: R. Howard, 2B: F. Sanchez (yea, I know), 3B: C. Figgins, SS: M. Scutaro, 2B/SS: R. Theriot, 1B/3B: OPEN, OF: C. Crawford, D. Span, N. Cruz, Util: D. Ortiz, BENCH: J. Borbon

SP: J. Beckett, SP: C. Kershaw, P: U. Jiminez, P: J. Maine, P: OPEN, P: OPEN, RP: OPEN, RP: OPEN

Followed by 7 general BENCH spots and 3 DL spots. So, that's 2 Relievers, 2 general pitching, a 1B/3B, a 2B (F F. Sanchez) and 7 more general bench spots.

Now, after that long set up, here's who's available: Batters: James Loney, Todd Helton, Adam LaRoche, Jose Lopez, Nolan Reimhold, Chris Young, Alex Gordon, Scott, Sizemore, JJ Hardy, Conor Jackson, Lastings Milledge, Sean Rodriquez, Kyle Blanks, Magglio Ordonez, Rickie Weeks, Casey McGehee, Edwin Encarnacion, Andy LaRoche, Kevin Kouzmanoff, Maicer Izturis, Alfonso Soriano, Kelly Johnson, etc, etc, etc
S Pitching: Stephen Strasburgh, Jonathan Sanchez, Wade Davis, Matt Latos, Aroldis Chapman, John Danks, Oliver Perez, Phil Hughes, Marc Rzepczynski, Fausto Carmona, Justin Duchscherer, Shawn Marcum, Homer Bailey, etc, etc, etc and R Pitching: Billy Wagner, Octavio Dotel, Matt Lindstrom, Chris Perez, Franklin Morales, Huston Street, Scott Downs, John Rauch, etc, etc, etc.

So... HELP!!! (please)

re: scoring -- Your league rewards guys like Figgy and leans heavily in favor of quality starting pitching.

I'd go for starters and closers at first. Sanchez, Strasburg, Hughes, Marcum... In that order. While mixing in Wagner, Dotel and Perez, etc. Then I'd grab Kelly Johnson late for 2nd base and Helton or Loney for Corner.

Thanks. Drafting in 45 minutes. Wish me luck. Any thoughts on Carmona's resurgence?
