So I still need a starting pitcher. Actually you can argue that I still need like 3 starting pitchers, but let's focus on one for now. There's the one who I think is the best one available to me, and who in theory
should be the best one available to me, and who currently is pitching very well for me in a $110M league. But his performance history is slightly worse than that of the other guy, and choosing the other guy would save me almost $2.7M between him and his teammate who I'd be drafting. If I hadn't completely botched this draft the second guy would be a no-brainer because I'd be able to use that extra $2.7M to improve my team, but I probably can't do that with the losers who I've drafted and the paucity of talent still available to me. And the first guy has 41 more innings, and I need all the good innings I can get, because, you know, my team blows. But there's an outside chance that if I go with the first guy I'll be saddled with enough extra salary in the endgame that I might not be able to afford everyone I'm planning on using, which would be kind of a disaster since even the guys who I'm planning to roster aren't all that good. And there are people who think that quantum physics is complicated.
OK, screw it. I don't think I've made a correct decision since this league began, so why start now? $2.2M worth of awful DH-only in a non-DH league, here we come! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to those of you who didn't completely botch this draft and who will be looking to fill out your roster with a cheap Tommy Davis like a normal person, you're welcome.
