Winter Waivers 2020

Below is the list of players who have been cut and are eligible for claiming.  You have until Thursday, January 9th, 3pm Central to submit your claims.  Remember the rules:

1)  For every player you claim you MUST waive a player;
2)  If you claim more than one player, rank them in the order you want to get them as that is how the WW system works.  The WW process begins with the last place team getting priority over the list, then 9th place, 8th place, etc.  If your first choice is taken by a lower team, your second choice comes into play;
3)  There is no limit to the number of players you can claim;
4)  There are no positional limits or requirements for claiming or your roster at this time;
5)  At the completion of the first round (1/9/20 3:01pm) the trade season opens.  When considering and ultimately making a trade - whether it's during the off season or during the season up until the trade deadline - remember it is incumbent on BOTH teams to make sure the trade is fair and equitable.  A lopsided trade not only hurts the team on the short end of the deal, it also negatively impacts the rest of the owners of the league.  Since the CFCL is a Gentleman's League, it is expected (not hoped, not wished for but EXPECTED) that all owners operate their teams in a proper manner that does not undermine the integrity of the league nor the efforts of the balance of the owners.

17 Days and Counting

So far I have heard from four owners (five if you count the Rebels) on a return for 2020 and which weekend is preferred for drafting.

Since no one has proactively volunteered they are stepping down I will remind all owners that Winter Waivers are due in 17 days - Sunday, January 5th at 3pm Central Time. Provide a list of the players you are keeping (23) and a list of the players you are waiving.  DO NOT include players who were signed in September or had their contract expire at the end of the 2019 season.  Those players cannot be waived and have already been removed from your rosters.

There are no positional requirements for Winter Waiver.  If you want to keep 23 pitchers, so be it. 23 minor leaguers?  Fine. You MUST keep 23 players and waive the rest.

I will have a list of the waived players posted by Sunday night and you will have until Thursday, January 9th at 3pm to claim.

Happy Holidays.

End of Season Wrap Up - 2019

Congratulations to everyone on a successful 36th CFCL Season with special congratulations going to our top four finishers for making things interesting to the very end.

We are entering the dormancy period of the CFCL.  No trading allowed until the end of the first round of Winter Waivers, Mike C. will be scrubbing rosters to remove S and 19 contracts.  Download your rosters soon if you need your season ending information.

Even though we are expecting 85 degrees for the next two days as we close out September and start October, here's a reminder that Winter Waiver Cuts are due by 3pm (Central) on Sunday, January 5th, 2020.  Please provide a list of your 23 Keepers as well as a list of everyone you're cutting.  Do NOT include players with 19 or S contracts.  Technically you are not cutting them for Winter Waivers, they are already off your team as of the last out of the last game yesterday.  But include the player you are keeping and actually cutting so I can do a proper check and balance of all rosters.

Here are the Hometown Discounts for Draft Day 2020.

One final piece of business.  Once you know if you will be returning, please send me an e-mail with your intention (to play in 2020 or resign).  The sooner we know the compliment of owners we have for 2020, the sooner we can address any slots to fill.

Enjoy the playoffs!

Coming Down The Stretch

As we head into the final month of the season there are a couple of things to keep in mind.

1)  Starting with this Free Agent period (Sunday, September 1st), all Free Agents acquired from here on out will be assigned a contract status of S, meaning that they will be released immediately from your roster at the end of this season.  Unless, of course, a bid of .25 or more occurs, in which case the player has to be kept going into next year's draft.

2)  As of Monday's roster moves, you can add one more player to your active roster as a September Roster Expansion move.  Please remember this DOES NOT mean you can ACQUIRE an extra player on your 40 man roster.  You are still limited to 40 players on your Roster.  However, instead of 23, you can now play 24 on your ACTIVE ROSTER, thereby leaving 16 players on your Reserve List.

Line - Clown Trade

The Kenndoza Line trade Charlie Blackmon (.43 21+), Stephen Strasburg (.33 19), Orlando Arcia (.03 21+), Craig Kimbrel (.15 21+) and their 15th pick to the Clowns for Nick Senzel (.15 21+), Yasiel Puig (.23 21+), Derek Dietrich (.03 21+) and Jonathon India (.10 Mx).

Swing - Clown Trade

The Swing trade Kirby Yates (.07 19), Jarod Dyson (.05 21+) and Yairo Munoz (.01 21+) to the Clowns in exchange for Dansby Swanson (.07 21+), Alec Bohm (.05 Mx) and Keone Kela (.11 21+)
