Welcome to Rates and barrels. It is opening day. It is Thursday, April 7th. Derek Van Riper here with the King of Waffles,

Eno Saris, Eno continuing his vacation slash opening week, which is just, I feel bad for you,

because I feel like you can't fully enjoy both of those things simultaneously. You can partially

enjoy both things, and that's better than not enjoying them at all.

But thanks for powering through this week.

No, it's a crazy week. It's not to be not recommended.

Not to be repeated, much like the the fab situation in labor where we had players that signed after the auction chaos

total chaos that was that was absolutely crazy so just the background real quick because i think

it's it's kind of interesting nobody cares about your fantasy league i know but uh all those free agents

we took the top 10 free agents out of the pool before we drafted.

And then when we, when we, so when we came back, when all those players had signed,

we had to figure out how to draft them.

In the NL, they had like a little mock auction.

And there was a bunch of players that, you know, you guys had more.

The NL had more.

So there was like nine players you guys auction off the AL couldn't get it together and so all the free agents went into the first

fab pool which also includes all the guys who were traded into the league so it's like sunny

gray was on there but also Carlos Correa and Anthony Rizzo and like so just an amazing FAB run and my thinking was

in the NL there were almost 12 guys so there was like you know every team was going to get someone

so there was like more of a balance between not spending all your money and making sure you got

somebody you

wanted. Who did you end up with? You ended up with... I got Luke Voight and the way I had to do it.
