I think way too much is being made out of draft order. I dug up the old study I had done after VD15 on the old site. Here were the number of money finishes by draft slots, from 1-16:
2
4
3
2
2
3
3
4
3
2
4
4
3
2
0
1

Moreover, the finish for the Walter Johnson drafter in the last-name drafts on the old site was:
6th, 8th, 14th, 10th, 3rd, 2nd, 14th, 8th

I'm in favor of mixing things up for the sake of variety and not sticking people with the same player pool all the time. But in terms of competitiveness, I don't think it's a real issue.

I disagree

So we are pretty much the only people anywhere ever that have done Vintage Drafting.

Man that took forever. I kept waffling about whether my feeling-clever-about-finding-a-decent-1870s-BY was actually useful and being sad that I hadn't realized everyone was just going to take closers for 1990-2000. Perhaps I should have started preparing before the draft instead of around round 10.

Also sad that I took as many hitters as I did early and Johnny's hitting is still better than mine.

Also sad that I'm in week 3 of my wife being out of town and me taking care of the kids, which is why I don't actually get to look at RJ until about 10pm.

Just found a dog I want to adopt but its in Seattle. Mind adopting it and fostering it until you come down here in the spring?

[heyelander]

but you get lovely lemonade made for you, right?

[mjl]

Yes. I also get my six year old deciding that she didn't feel like getting up to go to the bathroom because she was too tired (because she woke up at 6 to watch cartoons) and peed in the wastebasket and didn't feel obligated to clean it up, which then taught my three year old that it was okay so she later peed on the couch. Otherwise things are going great.

[mjl]

I didn't really punish her for it because she's been really helpful otherwise, but I did take a video of the wastebasket and her apologizing for it and I told her if she did it again I would send it to her classmates and her grandparents.

For those of you not on my Facebook, she also made me a lemonade as a nice treat and was very proud that she invented the recipe, which was one cup of sugar, another half a cup of sugar, an ice cube, and three lemons.

BTW if any of you are in NYC and want a nice event for the Valentine's Day weekend, my wife is performing at Lincoln Center Thursday through Sunday, two shows a night, and I might be able to get you tickets.
