I've made a lot of bad trades. The original Chipper trade. The Sievers trade. But I did it cognizantly.And just to be clear, I don't blame or fault CJ at all, he's fine here. My swearing post wasn't mad, just more boiled over frustration with myself for not paying better attention.
    You can't hold yourself down on the Sievers deal. He boosted. None of us can predict that. He could have just as easily died. We have all made those kind of deals. I could care less that Norman Manrique became what he has, I got a SS at the time and that's what I needed. Do you think CJ loses sleep that Ricky Jones or Deshawn Russell became elite pitchers? Or Phillyfan wanted to quit when Dennis Eckersley became a God? They're still around, still competing, etc.

    I don't hold myself down on those ones because I was aware of what I was doing, just noting they were bad. I call it the Sievers deal, but it's all the parts, trying to contend too soon, paying more for you to take Lee because I didn't want to pay him despite my massive financial might. But that's fine because I learned. I guess I learned I need to be clearer and read better from this, but that's a silly thing to learn.

    Solution: Make 1 trade every ten years. By then time the next deal happens, you've probably forgotten about the last.

    Re: Bad Trades: We've all made them

    I kinda hate the Tara Knowles-Teller trade I made last season now.

    I mean, Spiwack is still awesome so it wasn't a bad trade but with her developing so insanely quick her and Spiwack are basically a wash and I gave up the two prospects for nothing.
