First Trade of 2010

Only 44 hours and 30 minutes into the new trade season the Candy Colored Clowns and Dem Rebels completed a deal addressing each other's needs.

Dem Rebels traded young pitching phenom Mat Latos (.02 11+) and their 2nd round rotation pick to the Clowns for Rebel fan favorite Derrek Lee (.19 11+) and their 6th round rotation pick.

The Clowns immediately met with their Salary Capologist Cookie to see how best to spend the extra .17.

Rebels Management tearfully awaited at Fort Payne Internation Airport for the arrival of Lee. Upon touchdown, the Rebel limo (a rusted pickup truck with 323,417 miles on it) sped Lee to Confederate Park so that Lee could organize his locker, held in vacant honor of his previous five years of service.

Constitutional Updates

As CFCL action ramps up with Winter Waivers and the opening of the trade market, the Executive Committee is undertaking a review of the CFCL Constitution. It's been a few years since the online version of the Constitution was updated - which is unfortunate because we've undergone a few significant changes (including a new contract identification structure) that aren't reflected in the currently-available Constitution.

We are making sure that we're bringing it up to date, simplifying things where we can, closing loopholes, and adding clarifications to head off any potential Constitutional crisises.

If there is anything you feel is missing from the Constitution or is particularly confusing or cumbersome, please let us know so we can address it now as we're going through this process.
