    *** VD 10 Commentary Thread ***

    Sooooo.......any interest in Vintage Draft 10 ? I don't really care about the format, but it usually takes a while to discuss, so I thought I'd start a thread.

    here's my proposal, with the caveat that I don't know what I'm doing anyway so I don't really know whether this would actually hurt any of you people who do know what you're doing:

    same format, but any player chosen in VD9 is KO'd.

And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

        At least I wouldn't have to feel the anxiety of leaving them until the end. Maybe we could just skip the QUIZY's and add more WC since it will already be pretty thin pickings

          Maybe only have to use 1 Quizy - 2 from OVEN and added wildcards - Draft more cont hitters (after steroid era)...

            I've always wanted to do letters plus decades. But we'd have to shrink the lineups a bit so you only had to use 1 or 2 QUIZY's, I think.

              Pretty sure we did this 3 or 4 drafts back.

                  I like the all new players, 1 quizy, 2 or 3 oven, lots of WCs.

                    IT's hard to get new players, or else they are too shy to jump in.

                      Not sure if this is dry British wit, but he's referring to my proposal, not getting new people to play.

                        Or, we could do a low-ball draft.

                        The problem with this and, possibly, the new-player-pool proposal is that the SS would have to be completely changed.

                        I'd be up for switching to decades.

                          yeah, I was trying to figure out if that would be necessary. I mean, there are a lot more players in there than we're already using, so it's not like we'd run out of players on there, but it is pretty likely that at least a couple players who would be good candidates to be picked wouldn't already be there.

                          I had also tried to figure out a low-ball format. Do you think it'd work properly if we required some minimum AB/IP on both career or BY? I also wondered about doing something where you wanted good career stats and bad BY stats or vice versa.

                          Also note that I'm pretty sure it's not too difficult to export the entire player database into spreadsheet format if we were okay with having a lot of noise in there. It'd be a big file though, and most likely wouldn't include the summer 2015 updates or final 2015 stats (assuming we did it sometime soon).

                            I guess we could throw a decades draft out there and if no one new wants to play, go back to this idea. Maybe Chance is interested in playing though?
