RotoJunkie is once again participating in the Tout Wars expert league. Can we call it a success since Jason and John are not in last place in either league? Either way, you can stay up with the league standings by visiting the Tout Wars site. In the meantime, all the Tout participants are posting articles over at CBS Sportsline throughout the season (Jason and John have the next two spots) so you can read about what is happening in each league.

Many Tout Wars players are writing weekly columns this year, which are published at CBS Sportsline. This week, Todd Zola tackles the mixed league and what strategies he is employing to stay near the top of the standings so far.  Read Todd's story here

Admit it, besides winning first place in your league, trade negotiations are the best part about fantasy baseball. Is there anything better than going back and forth for days, or weeks, to try to hammer out a trade? It is rare that two owners value the same player at the same level and this leads to a lot of hurt feelings or angry exchanges when trade offers show up in our inbox. It happens, but in most cases, there can be a happy middle ground. Both parties either come to an agreement or agree to disagree and move on. Either way, it is a good experience because I maintain every trade negotiation is an experience to build upon for future trade talks with that owner or other owners in your league.
