Congratulations to David's Ruffins on nailing down their 5th CFCL title in dominating style. Following their trades before the trade deadline they moved out to a commanding double digit lead for most of the rest of the year.
Special recognition goes to the Eukennott Beatniks for their first 2nd place finish in another dominating performance.
Coming soon to the Front Office will be a break down of the Home Team Discount and other off-season information.
For now, two assignments.
Email me with 1) your interest in attending the CFCL Banquet and 2) if you plan on attending, dates that you are available and 3) names of anyone you think would be a viable owner to fill our vacancy.
Congratulations to all on another successful season!

September Reminders
Most all of the CFCL teams have taken advantage of September Roster Expansion. Here's a couple of reminders for September.
1) Connected to SRE, if you acquire a player via waiver or FAAB in September, OnRoto may prompt you that you can fill an "Open" slot. Make sure the math is correct. You are allowed 40 players on your team. Usually (and how OnRoto looks at it) it's split 23 (active) and 17 (reserved). BUT for September your split may look like 24 (active) and 16 (reserved). OnRoto see 16 and thinks "Hmm, they are allowed 17" and offers you to fill a reserve "open" slot. That's OnRoto's mistake. If you have 40 players already and don't waive someone you pick up, the move is invalid and will be rejected.
2) If you pick someone up in September their contract is "S" and they are automatically waived from your team at the end of the season.
3) Your Executive Committee has been hard at work justifying your votes and has a proposal to present to you pertaining to teams that use up their FAAB during the season. That will be presented for your consideration and vote at the conclusion of the 2015 season.
4) We need to fill an owner spot and in a perfect world it will be done before Winter Waivers. If you know of someone you think would be a good candidate to join us, please let me know.
5) Start looking at your calendar in October/November for potential dates for the CFCL Banquet. Once we have the Award Ballot sent out and returned we'll try to lock in a date to get together.

Beatniks trade Dee Gordon (.10 16!), Matt Holliday (.27 16+) and Arismendy Alcantara (.10 16x) to the Revenge, receiving in return Carlos Gonzalez (.37 17+), Daniel Murphy (.13 15) and Mike Foltynewicz (.08 17+).

Interleague Free Agent Bid Day
Here is a quick recap of the 2015 Interleague Free Agent Bid Day (IFAB).
First, the verbage from the Constitution:
On the day immediately following the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline, the CFCL will hold a special sealed bid auction. Players who were traded from the American League to the National League on the day of the trading deadline, as well as any other free agents, are eligible to be bid upon on IFAB Day.
MLB's trade deadline is Friday, July 31st. That means that our bidding takes place on Saturday, August 1st. ALL Free Agents are eligible to be bid on - anyone in the Free Agent Pool - not just players having been traded from the AL.
Any bids .25 or over will require that team to keep the player going into the 2016 season. Bidding on August 1st will close at 3pm. Unless you hear otherwise, the bidding is the same as every week - via OnRoto.
Questions? Check the Constitution or e-mail the Commissioner.

Clowns - Beatniks Trade
Fresh off a 4000 mile bike ride and not wanting to take the Ruffins charge lying down, the Beatniks traded with the Clowns who are proving to be an equal championship run opportunity trader.
The Clowns sent Andrelton Simmons (.10 15!) to the Beretheads for Julio Teheran (.02 15).
Five days, one and a half hours remain in the trade deadline.
