Does anyone use a trade scorecard?

This obviously not for OOTP10 (yet) but I was wondering if anyone keeps a type of scorecard for the trades in your league, or organization. I was thinking of creating something where I can see how players have fared since being traded and maybe come up with a system for declaring a winner/loser in the deal.

Obviously, this type of thing should span over seasons as prospects need time to pan out, but I was hoping someone might already have something I could look at to point me in the right direction.

I often review trades to see how I fared. Amazingly, it's pretty rare that I actually "lose" a trade. Most of the time when I trade a young player, they never reach their career potential or their career takes a nosedive. There are some instances when I trade a player and he manages to have a great career, but I usually make my trades so large that I can still feel like I got what I wanted out of it.

I think Anderson used to work on a mod that did something like this

It's not quite what you're referring to, but the PEBA maintains an off-site blog that acts as an historical record of all our league's trades. While we don't necessarily declare winners and losers, there is a rundown of what has happened with the players involved in the trade. Check it out here: The PEBA Trade Tally
