A Baseball Question
Dear Cap’n Lou,
Who is better, Jack Cust or Ben Sheets?

Dear Omar,
My vast knowlege of professional sports often goes unrecognized, so I appreciate this opportunity to highlight my expertise. Unfortunately, I recently had to erase all the baseball facts from my memory to make more room for Mary J. Blige lyrics. Sorry about that!
But a wise leprechaun informed me that this may not be a baseball question so much as a fantasy baseball question. If this is the case, great! I am still an expert in all things fantastical.
In fantasy terms, Jack Cust is like an orc: intimidating, but easily outrun and outwitted. Ben Sheets is like Aragorn (son of Arathorn): a super stud messiah who, in this scenario, is going to be laid up at Rivendell with an elbow injury for many moons.
The question for you, Omar, is whether you are willing to forsake Aragorn in his moment of weakness in order to harness the power of an evil brute force? Or can you have faith that Aragorn will be able to recover and go on to save Middle Earth in the long run? I suggest letting a 20-sided die decide this for you.
Best,
Cap’n Lou
