Totally stupid and irrational. How could something be unfair that is a) after the fact, and b) available to everybody? This is one of my favorite features. It's always amusing to see that eight teams all wanted the same 50-cent hard-left reliever (drafted 24th or 25th, no doubt). More seriously, it gives you clues for what people wanted and didn't want. If somebody got an also-ran instead of the draft pick, that player is a possible trade. If you're thinking of putting a CF as your first waiver claim but ten of the other 11 teams got the CF they wanted, you can move the waiver claim lower. Etc. etc.
