Free Agent Correction

Please notice the correction to the Free Agent Bids for April 19th, 2009.

The correction involves Mark DeFelice.

Trade Winds Have Begun to Blow

Ok, so it's not so much a full force wind but more of a variable breeze.

The Candy Colored Clowns trade David Weathers to Dem Rebels for Eric Byrnes.

Much like a butterfly flapping its wings in South America that ends up causing a tornado in Europe, this trade could be the beginning of gale force activity.

Please keep in mind that the deadline for making your Free Agent Bids is 3pm Central. The Executive Committee is in agreement that 3:01pm is not 3:00pm. The e-mail address that we send out bids to has a time stamp on all incoming e-mail. If the e-mail registers anything after 3:00, the bids will not count.

Sunday, April 12th Bids

DoorMatts bid .07 on Everth Cabrera (release DeLaRosa)
Red Hots bid .05 on Trever Miller (moves into open space on Reserve)
MooreBetter bid .05 on Ramon Vazquez (Gaudin)
MooreBetter bid .05 on Jack Taschner (Snelling)
Kenndoza bid .07 on Lou Marson (Pedro Martinez)
Kenndoza bid .05 on Luis O. Rodriguez (Mather)

The Clowns made an unsuccessful bid on Luis O. Gonzalez (Darvish). Their bid was unsuccessful due to the fact that there is no one in the National League named Luis O. Gonzalez. His intention was to bid on Luis O. Rodriguez. Admitting to his mistake, he graciously removed himself from the fray and awarded Rodriguez to the Line - who correctly identified a player to be bid on.

It's Draft Day!

Found this out on YouTube. Everybody sing along!

Please Confirm Draft Picks, Draft Day Resources

Please take a few minutes to confirm that the league records accurately reflect your undertanding of your current set of2009 Rotation Draft (Reserve List) picks. If you notice any discrepancies, please let Rich and I know as soon as possible.

There are a couple ways to do this:

• Rotation Draft Pick Tracker - Team-by-team listing of the picks each team owns, which picks they've traded away, and where acquired picks came from. This page is updated throughout the season as trades are made and is available from both the links in the sidebar of this blog and from the Quick Links section of the CFCL Internet Headquarters.
• Rotation Draft Pick Order - Round-by-round listing of the Rotation Draft picksin Excel format. This is available each off-season/pre-season in the Download Center.

Important Note: In previous years, we provided printed copies of the Rotation Draft Pick Order on Draft Day. In the spirit of sharing costs and administrative duties - especially since not everyone used these listings - we're asking anyone who wants a copy to print it themselves from the website. I'd wait until later on Friday or Saturday to print it - just in case people identify changes.

Other helpful resources:

• NL Spring Training Rosters - Matt G. has been doing a bang-up job of tracking NL roster moves this spring, and his work had received kudos from even outside the CFCL, including one message board post that called the rosters "the greatest thing ever". The rosters are helpful not only for identifying who is still in camp (and thus eligible on Draft Day) but whose been put on the DL, etc. Well done, Matt!
• 2008 Games Played Listing - Helpful, obviously, for confirming position eligibility for the 2009.

Both the above items are available in the Download Center.
