What about the guy who praises a trading partner? What stage does that put
that guy in?

Classic Jansen Stage 1.5.  He's puffing useless minor league magic beans for
the sole purpose of planting a seed in the minds of next year's victim(s).
"Hmmm," future Victim thinks.  "If Brad thinks this guy is special, maybe he
really is."

 

Next year, of course, we move to Stage 2.  Brad swoops in on Victim and
intones, "I really liked [Insert Useless Magic Bean here] when I traded for
him last year.  But now you need to take him back and give me [Insert
several top-flight players here].   

 

Then we're onto Stage 3.  Jansen is rolling toward multiple titles, and
Victim is left scratching his head while surfing minorleaguebaseball.com for
stats on their useless players.

 

Don't say you weren't warned.  And expect to be mocked next year if you fall
for it!

 

That is all.
