Prelude to Winter Waivers

Gentlemen -

It is just about that magical time of year. The calendar turns to Winter, the breeze turns cold and blustery and the good, fine people of America decorate their houses in honor of The CFCL's Winter Waiver Season!

That's right, we are T-13 days away from the beginning of Winter Waivers. Your first cuts are due to me by 3pm, Sunday, January 1st. I will be sending my cuts to the Executive Committee before opening any of your e-mails, just to keep things legal.

I have uploaded an updated roster that shows players on rosters currently in the American League and also has been purged of all expiring contract players.

Your job is to cut down to 23 players. For Winter Waivers there are no position restrictions. You may keep 15 pitchers and eight minor leaguers if you want. It does not matter.

I encourage you all to visit the Constitution to remind yourselves of the process, but certainly if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me.

I hope you find what you're looking for under the tree this year. Personally I'm hoping Santa has a low-priced quality starter earmarked for Rebel Headquarters.
