Natural Day 2015

Every year we celebrate the anniversary of the day Ryne Sandberg leapt into the national eye with his historic game against Bruce Sutter and the St. Louis Cardinals.  We reward the CFCL team that amassed the most cumulative total bases, runs and RBIs on their active roster.

For the early part of the evening it was a horse race between the Revenge and Beatniks.  But as the evening wore on, the Ruffins blew up and smoked the competition.  Congratulations to the Ruffins.  They win a $25 mlb.com gift certificate.

The Results:

Ruffins - 46
Clowns - 31
Swing - 30
Beatniks - 29
Revenge - 29
Killers - 23
Dem Rebels - 22
Ryne Sandberg - 20
DoorMatts - 20
Kenndoza Line - 19
Bulls - 19

Rebels - Clowns Deal

During a more normal time of the day, the Clowns and Rebels pull off a trade of need.  The Rebels picked up a flexible infielder and the Clowns addressed their emergency ward behind the plate.

The Clowns trade Matt Duffy (.06 17+) to the Rebels in exchange for Andrew Susac (.10 17+)

Swing-Killer Deal

In the wee hours of the morning the youngest two owners (actually three owners) made a trade while all normal owners were sound asleep.

The Twin Killers traded Craig Kimbrel (.30 17+) to Hey Patta Matta Swing in exchange for Curtis Granderson (.15 17+) and DJ LeMahieu (.03 16+).

Beatniks - Kenndoza Line Trade

The Beatniks, smelling blood and opportunity, pulled off a 14 player trade with the Kenndoza Line.  Quite honestly Mr. Berethead should be focusing on his home brew rather than the boys playing down hard by the Eukennott River.

The Beatniks trade:
Aaron Blair  .02 Mx
Michael Conforto  .02 Mx
Doug Fister  .13 16+
Billy McKinney  .02 Mx
AJ Pollock  .08 16+
Dale Thayer .01 17+
Yasmany Tomas  .06 17+
3rd pick 2016 Rotation

Kenndoza Line trade:
Zack Greinke  .18 15
Chris Hatcher  .05 17+
Jason Heyward  .31 17+
Mark Melancon  .04 15
Aramis Ramirez  .13  16+
Julio Teheran  .02 15
Eric Young  .01 15

Memorial Day Trade

Possibly due to suffering from lack of oxygen due to their temporary place high upon the standings, Dem Rebels agreed to trade most of their future in the hopes of finding a money position in October.

The Rebels trade to the Revenge:
Gregory Polanco (.05 16+)
Austin Meadows (.05 Mx)
Kyle Schwarber (.15 Mx)
Mat Latos (.14 17+)
Cliff Pennington (.05 17+)
Eric Campbell (.02 17+)
2nd round pick in 2016

in exchange for:
Jhonny Peralta (.21 17+)
Martin Prado (.16 17+)
Jonathon Lucroy (.14 15)
Andre Ethier (.01 17+)
Andrew Cashner (.04 15)

Clowns Continue Their Trading Ways

The Clowns continued their trading frenzy finding a repeat partner and a new one within minutes of each other.

The Clowns traded Ryan Braun (.39 17+) to the Beatniks in exchange for JP Crawford (.10 Mx).

Then they contact the DoorMatts and completed this trade:

Clowns send Corey Spangenberg (.10 17+), John Axford (.02 17+) and Brayan Pena (.01 17+) to the Matts for Chris Owings (.13 16+) and Javier Lopez (.10 17+)

Beatniks/Clowns Trade

Not waiting for any grass to grow under their feet and to maintain their commanding domination over Dem Rebels, the Beatniks made a deal with the Clowns.

The Beatniks send Santiago Casilla (.01 16+) and Rob Kaminsky (.02 Mx) to the Clowns for Gio Gonzalez (.16 17+). 

This trade could easily have just guaranteed the Beatniks their first championship in team history.
