I actually had decided on Nen or Koji and wasn't sure who I'd take. Mookie didn't give me that choice so it was an easy pick to make.

I feel good that players I had on my short list are being taken but crappy about all my picks I had to make, but at least I am getting paid to make my picks, so I got that going for me.
Still feels good to get vintage up a running again tho.

bwt, I forget if I've mentioned this to you spreadsheet nerds before, but the Imagine Sports historical leagues are fun. I hadn't done it in a few years but got back into it with a friend of mine recently. Here's our team that's just starting a new season: https://www.imaginesports.com/bball/...RRWBDTKAC2UDPW
You have access to the sim results for all time, including split out by what park they were playing in, though AFAIK it's not directly downloadable so you have to do searches on the site and then either transcribe or download the search results. The general consensus appears to be that people think defense is really important so this team is a test of how accurate that is.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. 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.

I don't know what I'm doing overall but this is fun.
If I had access to more data and more time I think I could put up a better showing next time. The player name handicaps are just wild guesses for me at this point. I know quizy is best but in a relative sense most of the value plays are gone there so the rest of us are left with junk. Is is better to get good junk rather than bad junk or go after the relative differences between great players with common letters vs good players with common names. Who knows?
Fun either way.

The main thing I needed for the app to work was the goal for what metrics to shoot for. i.e. how many RBI do you need to come in with a reasonable team? I have no concept, no clue at all since I haven't been able to find the final rosters from previous drafts yet. But going through this one will help me with that.
