RT 3 for 1 trade only helps the one
In RT, if you trade 3 for 1; you are either out of the monthly FA draft or have to cut 3 guys to get 1 pick (2 more than usual).
Since the 2nd FA draft is often the best of the year as rookies reach the magic number of innings or at bats to be included, you have to figure out which 3 players would be cut for the FA draft.
Then make the trade Sele plus those 2 guys for Dotel, Keisler, & Villone and evaluate that trade.
For the guy getting Sele, the trade doesn't evaluate the same way as he doesn't get those extra players - so to him it is just as listed.
For the player getting 3 for 1 though, he's really giving 3 for 3 - you just don't know who are the other 2 EXTRA guys he'll need to cut.
