one of my favorite oddities....Joe Torre, Ray Sadeki and Orlando Cepada....they were all traded for each other during their careers...

Cepeda to SF for Sadeki (to Atl)

Cepeda to StL for Torre (to Atl)

Sadeki to StL for Torre (to NY Mets)

I had considered in some way doing a strat draft like this.....each pick had to be connected to the previous pick other than through the team they are both on here(directly without the degrees or with one degree of seperation)
