Randomizing is probably best.

Def.

When is the draft?

It's on the league page

I want 1st pick!

Dang...

How the heck do I know who is who??

EDIT: NVM, I kinda got it, by stalking their ESPN profile.

dish is way too obvious.

4th pick bb

I think the majority decided on randomizing, so I'll do that once Phillies and/or Liam gives me their email.

Oh, it hasn't been randomized yet? I see.

I was just gonna post that it was fishy you got the first pick.

So, can someone kinda explain the scoring? I've never done Fantasy Baseball... And am looking for help.

Oh, I don't even want the first pick

And roto is fairly simple. Throughout the season, your players will compile stats. So, for example, the team with the most homeruns will score 10 points. The team with the second most gets 9, ect. This is the same for all 10 stat categories. So, you want to have as many points as possible. Does that make any sense?

I guess... is that what we are doing?

Probably. But trust me, it's much simpler than it sounds. The get the hang of it really quick

So it's more important to have a balanced team, rather than taking all of one type of player, sluggers, or base stealers for example?

Also, what pitching categories are there? ERA? Wins? K's?

For the most part. Some people will say just to disregard closers, but I find that that strategy seldom works, especially with a start limit. And there's those three stats, plus saves and WHIP.

Also, I just randomized the order, and the results are in. *drum roll*

1. Aggressive Ducklings (Zumi)
2. Wisconsin River Bandits (Brewers)
3. Atomic Pickles (AgentP)
4. Team 10 (Likely Phillies)
5. Syracuse Spartans (Me)
6. Massachusetts Massacres (Mac)
7. Orange Peanuts (PPJ)
8. Vancouver Mendenhals (Dish)
9. Sacramento Zombie Pigmen (Zero)
10. Team 9 (Likely Liam)

And so, the order reverses for the 2nd round, so 11 would be Liam, 12 would be Zero, etc.

A feature I've enabled is pick trading. From now until one hour before the draft, you can trade whatever draft picks you would like. To do so, just go to another team's page, and propose a trade. From there, you can choose whatever picks you would like to include. A note on how the trades work however. If you have 26 picks (instead of the usual 25), you still only pick 25 players. Your very last pick will be forfeited. On the other hand, if you have 24 picks, you only pick 24 players. If you want a 25th to round out your roster, you must pick one off the free agent list once the draft ends.

Dang, I like 4th pick better... It was in the middle.

Oh well, second isn't tooshabby.

It comes down to what Zumi does. If he chooses Trout or Cabrera, then you get Braun and you'll be all happy.

Personally, I hate having the 1st or 10th pick. I'm not a fan of back to back picks, because you have 18 in between. If you want a player, you are forced to really reach for them

6th pick, not too shabby. :^)
