If my coach says "I hope they fall for this one" ... I forget the exact words, but it's close enough ... I don't do the deal.
When I draft, I generally take the scout's recommendation from about the fourth round on, so I don't package a bunch of those garbage picks I don't care about for a first-rounder.
I also weakened the fictional players (so that they can make the majors if I need a spare part but 99.99% will not be any good), and I won't package a bunch of those permanent minor leaguers that I know are damaged goods for one real gem of a player.

Otherwise, I always have a weakness for potential over proven track records (it's why I never win my Rotisserie leagues), so my tendency to trade a quality 31-year-old slugger for a hot prospect, two so-sos and a draft pick keeps me from succeeding anyways.
