    I've never once considered anyone else's needs when deciding on a franchise. Figure with so many rounds and franchises, every team is going to be stacked anyway, can't go making decisions based on what other people might do.

    Amazing.

    the crazy thing, and an illustration of how subjective this all absolutely is, is that i think i'd only trade with pg at one position, first base. anyway, can't wait to see how it all plays out.

    Yep. Insane. I had an idea who I thought was the favorite before I did rankings. Ended up not being that person. And then ended up splitting so many hairs. And then Walter Johnson goes and, well.
