TRADER'S ALLEY
Buy Low and Sell High
Pros and Cons to Consider Before Closing the Deal
As of Wednesday September 12, 2007

Naturally trading Peyton Manning for Jake Delhomme would improve your team. However, you're not going to be able to pull off many lopsided trades like that in your league.

This column is designed to quickly unearth some not so obvious things to help you... buy low and sell high.

Further, we suggest you only make a trade if you receive plenty of value in return and the deal results in an improved roster for your squad. In short, obtain players that will outperform their current perceived value while trading overrated talent. Do that and you'll be on your way to improving your roster. The perfect trade!
