        Who do we like more and why: Matt Olson or Edwin Encarnacion about a round or two later?

          Here's why I ask. My team through 8 rounds:

          1. Arenado
          2. Sale
          3. Bryant
          4. Buehler
          5. Pham
          6. Clevinger
          7. Gordon
          8. Haniger


          I'm starting to feel more concerned about 1B, despite trying to convince myself earlier that I could keep waiting. Rotolab has Encarnacion as not only the best 1B available but the best bat overall (Aaron Hicks and Ozuna are next most valuable bats). I also want to get some pitching going plus I still don't have a shortstop. Best pitching options appear to be Mikolas, Price, Morton and a variety of middling old dudes and upside guys like Castillo. Closers are also starting to fall - next best ones available are Vazquez, Hand, Doolittle.

          Help VD-wan Kenobis! You're my only hope!

            Well, fuck. Encarnacion just went two picks before me. I think I have to move on Olson now.

                Stayed up late last night because TNT was running a Supernatural Marathon... I could watch whatever I want any time on Netflix, but because it's on regular TV it seems specialer.

                I did start to rewatch the episodes I recommended to you on Friday night though... Dean had me cracking up the whole time.

                  You see, subsidies are actually super libertarian because everyone competes for them equally. What, do you think private enterprise should not even be able to engage with government?


                  Game. Set. Match.


                  Nice try, libtard.

                    He was constructing an elaborate new theory on capitalism and "Pragmatic" libertarianism for the whole purpose of criticizing AOC, who ironically enough agreed with Libertarians that giving money to Amazon is ridiculous. It was pretty amazing.

                      Have you seen the whole series yet ? I think we are in Season 10ish. I also skip a bunch of episodes.

                        What about Miggy? I got him a round and a half later than Olson in RJ mock and feel like could be due for a nice bounce back now that he's fully healthy.

                              Oh, man, this idea that government is this monolithic, evil, inefficient actor is such a warped view of reality. Government sets the ground rules for private enterprise to operate in. Enforces contract law, awards patents, determines what constitutes anti-competitive behavior, and generally sets the framework for there to even be a "free market". The idea that an optimal free market is just a thing that naturally happens by itself is so fundamentally incorrect.

                                you should go back and watch a couple of the ones I recommended to truly appreciate how silly (in a good way) this gets.
