Winter Waiver - Round 1 Results

The results are in.  Some interesting claims.  The Swing jumped right into things by trying to claim almost everyone waived.  Also interesting is four players from the vaunted 9th place team were claimed.  Either the Rebels don't know what they're doing (most likely) or EVERY OTHER TEAM made a mistake (highly unlikely).

The first list is the list of successful claims.  The players listed in (parenthesis) are available for Round 2.  Deadline for making claims is Sunday, January 12th at 3pm CST.  Players italicized were claimed by more than one team.

Below that is the comprehensive list of all players claimed and offered up for waivers.

Winter Waiver Correction

There is an adjustment to the players available in the first round.  Here's the end of the story.

Scott Elbert and Jonathan Pettibone werer listed as available.  They are not currently on any CFCL team and therefore are ineligible for Winter Waivers.

Jaime Garcia .05 and Sam LeCure .05 were omitted from the original list and have been added to the post from Sunday, January 5th.

Anyone that has submitted their Winter Waivers to the Commissioner already  is able to resubmit a new list.  Whatever is in my mailbox on Thursday at 3pm will be considered final.

Winter Waivers - 2013

At long last we have reached the first best time of the year! Winter Waivers! Below is the list of all the players that have been cut and their salaries. Before you dive into the players and drool over your wish list PLEASE READ THESE BULLET POINTS!

• The players on this list include American League players, National League players, Free Agents (in MLB) and Retired Players. ALL of them are eligible to be claimed in Winter Waivers. If you claim a player in the AL, you must cut them if they are still in the AL as of Roster Cut Day.
• If you successfully claim a player or players you MUST waive the same number of players you claim. This may seem obvious since we all had to cut down to 23 players but . . .
• . . . as of the end of the 1st round (Thursday - more on this in a moment) TRADE SEASON IS OPEN! If you make a trade it is entirely possible that you could make a 3 for 2 trade where your roster would stand at 22 players. Doesn't matter. Even if you have 22 players and want to claim a Winter Waiver in the second round, you must waive a player.
• The First Round of Winter Waivers Deadline is Thursday, January 9th at 3pm CST. This is a hard deadline. I WILL NOT be chasing you down to see if you meant to make a claim. If I don't receive an e-mail with waiver claims from you by Thursday at 3pm CST then I will assume you don't want to make a claim.
• When you submit your claim a) please put Winter Waiver Round 1 in the subject line so I know not to open the e-mail until I've submitted my claims, and b) List your claims in the order you want them. It makes a difference.
• E-mail me with any questions you may have or (even better) reference the Constitution to make sure you remember all the rules. The above bullet points are not a comprehensive list of everything pertaining to Winter Waivers. It's just the high points on things that could easily be tripped over.

Ok, last thing. I have posted an updated Excel Roster Spreadsheet to download at the right. Also, I understand that sometime Monday (tomorrow) Mike Coulter (On-Roto Czar) will be updating the OnRoto rosters so if there's anything there that you want with last year's information, you may want to grab it today.

Now on to the fun. Here's the list of cuts! Happy shopping!
