Great tags. I liked the discussion about trade logic, and that got me thinking about something else.
When you discussed Vickrey FAAB bidding in previous episodes, you guys usually say something along the lines of "wanting a player and putting a high bid, but that can backfire if someone else really wants the player too."
Isn't the point of a Vickrey system that you can say "I would pay $45 for this player, but I wouldn't pay $46." The way you guys discuss it, it's as if you throw a $60 bid and hope for the best, even if you would be unhappy if you had to pay anything over $45.
