0:06.8

sizing up the trade market with the minnows. I decided that it was going to be Chu Toro,

0:12.9

is what we were going to call the mid-grade fish last episode. So, yeah, minnows would maybe be it of the trade market. I think we went through

0:24.4

everyone that we thought Mike Garner a first round pick, but there still are a lot of players
