Nick, Rich, and Jacque

Now that in-season publication has started, if you're not checking out The Monroe Doctrine on a regular basis, you're doing yourself a great disservice.  Rich is once again making quality weekly posts about the CFCL past and present, the Cubs, MLB, and life in general.  You subscribe via a news reader, or at a minimum be sure to click the link over in the sidebar to the right of this post on a regular basis.

If you haven't read his Bring Me Your Torch post casting "Survivor: Heroes vs Villians" using current and former Cub players, go check it out, then come back here for a little treat.

Well done, don't you think?  The reference to the Jacque Jones moment from the 2006 CFCL Draft was a nice touch.  For those who would like to relive it or experience it for the first time, here's the video:

Beginning of the year reminder

Gents -

A new roster spreadsheet has been posted for download with the first week's worth of bids. Each week on Sunday (afternoon or evening) I will be posting an updated roster.

Also, keep in mind that as of the end of the Draft a little over a week ago, the current salary cap was raised from the $2.60 on Draft Day to $3.00 until the All-Star Game.
