What are tips on how to make an excellent trade in my fantasy baseball league?

Fantasy baseball is all about trades. More than other fantasy sports, it's a long season. You want to sell high and buy low. If you have a guy who has a track record of success over five or seven years, if he's performing well above that track record, he's probably going to go back to what they call reverting to the mean. So if a player is hot, you want to trade him. Let's say you need help in your middle infield, and he's a really hot first baseman, maybe trade him for a really good shortstop. What you also want to look at is positions and categories in your fantasy baseball league where you need help. Sometimes trades really do help both teams. If you need a lot of help in saves, if just getting one closer will bump you way up in the save category, then it really would be worth it to trade a starter for a closer, even if you have to give up a great starter.
