Trade offer

Posted by Craig Kornacki on 4/21/2004, 12:29 pm

Is it ever good to make a bad trade, especially if you're considered a shark in your league?
I read somewhere that if you make a bad trade early on, then people are more likely to trade with you.
The following trade might be a good trade now, but might look bad in the future.
Here's the offer that was made to me. Jim Edmonds and a prospect for Richie Weeks and Khalil Greene OR Edmonds and a draft pick for Jeff Conine and Richie Weeks.
Some background: I am in first place. NL-only league, 12 teams, HOLDS and Field Percentage are the extra categories.
These are my OF's: JD Drew, Alou, Green, Conine, and DeWayne Wise. With Bergeron on the bench right now.
I want to make this trade, but my hesitation is with Edmonds' injury history. Plus, I would be giving up either one or two players at a position with scarcity.
Any ideas?
