Draft Day 2015 On The Books

Thanks to most everyone's feedback (most importantly our out of towners) the 2015 Draft Day has been agreed upon.

We will draft at my office (like the last few years) in Lisle on Saturday, April 5th.  Our start time will be 1pm with league business and hopefully kicking off the Ruffin Privilege well before 2pm.

There were a few requests for the draft to begin in the late morning, but with owners coming in from out of town, we need to start early afternoon.  If everyone pays attention during the draft, has players to nominate when it's there turn and doesn't take 60-70 seconds to decide if they are going to increase their bid, we should still be able to get out at a decent hour.

Last year we started at 1:30 and finished the draft portion at 6:30.  If I remember correctly we were out of the building by 8pm.

Winter Waivers, Round 1 Complete

And like that, Round 1 is complete and CFCL Trade Season is now open!  Below are the claims submitted and corresponding waivers offered.    Players listed in Yellow were acquired via successful claims.  Players listed in Purple were corresponding waivers.  Players with lines through them were unsuccessful claims (i.e. claimed by other teams first).  Players with no color or line were submitted to be waived but the process never got that far.  The new set of players being waived are available until 3pm (Central) Sunday, January 11.

Winter Waivers Round 1

Below are the players that were waived for Winter Waivers.   You have until Thursday, January 8th at 3pm to submit any claims.

**  THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE 3PM DEADLINE.  IF IT'S NOT IN MY INBOX AT 3PM, I'M PROCESSING CLAIMS.**

 REMEMBER:  For every player you claim you must list a player from your current 23 man roster you want to waive.  You may not waive a player on an X contract or LTC.  You MAY, however, claim a player on this list that is in the AL.  If that player is still in the AL as of Roster Freeze Day, you MUST cut them.

If you claim someone they will be given a "W" contract.  Their salary is what is listed below.  If you claim a player with an "M" next to their salary, they will be in your minor league system.  These players (if kept going into Draft Day) will receive a 17+ and Mx contract respectively.

Also, on Thursday, January 8th at 3:01pm the trade season is open!

Happy pickings!
