Free Agent Bids and Waiver Claims

None


September Happenings

Monday is September 1, which means two things:

Rosters can expand by one player.  You can activate a player from your Reserve List on Monday (Noon deadline) or on any subsequent Friday through the rest of the season.  The extra player can also be a free agent acquired during the regular Friday transactions, but keep in mind that free agents acquired during September receive a B contract (unless the bid is .25 or more).

In order to accommodate the extra player, the salary cap increases by .10 to 3.60.


Documentary Update

The October 19th screening of Trading the Gator is now being listed on the Chicago Historical Society’s website, so apparently that date is official.  The listing indicates the event also includes “a discussion with director Brad Morris” (http://www.chicagohs.org/programs_events.html).

After I mentioned the screening a few weeks ago, Paul, Kelly, and Matt G. said they planned on attending and that they’d be in favor of scheduling the banquet in the City for later that afternoon/evening.  Other than those three, though, I haven’t heard from anyone else, either in favor of or against the idea.  Please let me know what you think of holding the banquet downtown after the documentary screening.


This Week's Featured League

Each week (or close to it) I feature the web page of a fantasy baseball league that I’ve surfed across. Note that this is NOT intended to be a "review" of each site, nor is it intended to be a competition. It’s simply a way of exploring the fantasy baseball community beyond the CFCL and a way of recognizing those leagues with a presence on the Internet.

There’s no featured page this week, and unless I can find a league website that’s worthy, we may be done for the year.  Watch this space…
