2008 Winter Waivers Recap

Winter Waivers
As anticiapted, there were no takers on Eddie Guardado, so our stop-and-go Winter Waivers for this year come to a close. Overall, seven teams participated in the waivers, with 15 players being claimed. That's just slightly more than half the number of players who were claimed last year.

Winter Waivers is always a mixed bag, with varying levels of available, and a number who had moved to the American League by the time they were available on waivers. The two phase approach neccessitated by the Dispersement Draft may have kept the claims lower than usual, and the process wasn't without it hiccups.

Overall, though, it was another successful set of winter action. The full list of players claimed is below -- we'll see how many of them are still around come Roster Freeze Day.

Meet Mike Moore
One of our new owners, Mike Moore of Moore Better, was quick to respond to the call for Owner Profiles, and his work is now available in the CFCL Clubhouse. Watch for profiles from our other newbies, which will hopefully be coming soon.

In the meantime, you can get acquainted with Mike here:

First Pitch Forums
In a few weeks, Ron Shandler will be bringing his annual caravan to Chicago in the form of his First Pitch Forums - three hours of fantasy baseball immersion. This year's session is scheduled for Sunday March 2 at Noon. I've gone to all but one or two of these since Shandler's been doing them, and highly recommend them.

After a number of years in Oakbrook, they're holding this one in Bannockburn, which I think is a suburb of Racine or something. Still, I might make the trek, particularly if I know other CFCLers will be there. Is anyone else planning to go?

Here's a description of the event:
