I've never played before

But I'm in

Cool, welcome. This is a 5X5 Roto league. Meaning 5 hitting categories. (Runs, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Stolen Bases, and Batting Average) and 5 pitching categories. (Wins, Strike outs, Saves, and WHIP= Walks and Hits per Inning Pitched, and Earned Run Average).

The object is to rack up the most in each category. Then you are ranked accordingly in the league, and score points based off of that.

example: In a 12 team league if your team has the most Home runs you get 12 points. If you have the least you get 1 point.

You do that for each category. It's a running total that builds up threw out the season. Who ever accumulates the most points at the end of the season wins.

The key to winning or at least being competitive is to make sure you have a well balanced team. You don't want to neglect any category during the draft.

You will notice once you start looking into it that certain players are better power hitters and hit more Home runs. While others are more speed players that get more stolen bases. you want a nice balance of both types of players.

Then from there you will just draft your players. Catcher, 1st base, second base, 3rd base and so on.

Hope that helped. I would recomend going to ESPN and check out there draft kit. It's free, and will give an idea of what I'm talking about.

sounds good. I'll check out the EspN site. Haven't even looked at rules, are we drafting a full team?

Positions are:

C, 1B, 2B, 3B SS, OF, OF, OF, Utility (you can stick any hitter in this spot)

SP(has to be a starting pitcher), SP, RP(relief pitcher, this is were you would play your closeres. There the ones who get you saves.), RP, P(any pitcher), P, P.

Then there are 11 bench spots. To give your team depth. This is were you would draft back ups to your hitters or load up on Pitchers like Nance did last year.

So, all together you will draft 27 players.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      By Icege · Posted

      Looking Back at the 2021 Panthers Draft Class An NFL player's career on average is said to last just slightly over three years, and because of that, it's considered a general rule of thumb that by Year 3, a team knows what kind of professional football player a pick has developed into. While there are always exceptions to the rule, that's not the point of this topic. This is about the players who are still on the team after being picked up in the 2021 draft (or as UDFAs). Only four remain on the roster today: Jaycee Horn, Chuba Hubbard, Tommy Tremble, and Brady Christensen. Two of them signed significant contract extensions with the team (Horn, Hubbard) while the other two (Tremble, Christensen) received short-term deals that aren't cap-heavy. It's worth mentioning the conditions these guys entered the league under Matt Rhule's second year and Scott Fitterer's first. A ton of players were brought in that year, including a long snapper who didn't make the team… instead of Trey Smith, who just happens to be the Chiefs' starting guard (hey... to be fair to Thomas Fletcher, he did have a fun draft day phone call). These four survived Rhule and Reich and were seen as valuable enough under the first-year combo of Morgan and Canales to be rewarded with second deals. Jaycee Horn (Round 1, Pick 8.) Horn has all of the traits of a true CB1: elite footwork, physicality, and the ability to mirror WR1s... but his biggest challenge has been staying on the field. He's never finished an entire season, though to be fair, it's been rumored he wouldn’t have been shut down for the final two weeks of last season had the team been in playoff contention. He's got just 37 career games played over four seasons (with 15 of those coming in Morgan/Canales' Year 1). The team gambled on his production after seeing that not only can he lock down WR1s in man or match quarters, but he can also be dependable in a heavy cover-3 zone scheme like what the Panthers ran last season. With the recent free agent and draft additions made this offseason, expect Jaycee to go back to eliminating WR1s from the game rather than shutting down a third of the field like he was recently asked to do. Chuba Hubbard (Round 4, Pick 126) Originally seen as a depth pick with linear speed, Hubbard has outperformed expectations and emerged as the team's RB1 over the past couple of years. His 2023 breakout laid the foundation, but in 2024 he cemented his role as the lead back, showing much-improved vision, contact balance, and decisiveness in outside zone. He finished top-10 in missed tackles forced and yards after contact per attempt, all while holding his own in pass protection and producing on screens. Chuba doesn't have elite burst or wiggle, but he's carved out a spot as the leader and tone-setter in the run game. Not bad value for a Day 3 selection—positional value be damned. Tommy Tremble (Round 3, Pick 83) Tremble has been the kind of player every team needs but few talk about: dependable, physical, and quietly versatile. When he was drafted, he was already known for his blocking chops and has steadily improved as a receiver. He experienced his most complete season in 2024 with a 79.3% catch rate, 10.2 yards per reception, no drops, and a 108.9 passer rating when targeted. Not only that, he's been a consistent special teamer since coming into the league. He's a natural fit as a TE/FB hybrid in 12 and 13 personnel, consistently handling the dirty work in both run and pass situations. Brady Christensen (Round 3, Pick 70) BC has played all over the line both as a starter and as a back-up. We haven't seen the "short arms" come up as often as Rhule was worried about, especially against ATL and WAS where he logged over 100 snaps at center and posted his best grades of the year (76.0 OVR, 73.8 PBL, 75.8 RBLK vs. ATL; 85.2 OVR, 72.9 PBLK, 86.0 RBLK vs. WAS). While his overall pass-blocking grade (56.1) and lack of a consistent position might mean that he's the perfect OL6 rather than a long-term starter, he's been dependable when given his opportunities.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
