Latest CFCL Bulletin and Roster Changes

08/07/04

"But the truth of the matter, of course, is that baseball has hardly changed at all. The game on the field, though played by young millionaires and watched, idly and imperfectly, by millions of us in our living rooms, is almost exactly the same game we learned as children, and that our fathers and grandfathers watched when they were children." - Roger Angell

Waiver Error

Last week, Tim Redding was mistakenly listed on the TQS waiver wire.  Chad Fox was actually the player who should have been waived in Redding's place.  To correct the error, I've put Redding back on the Ruffins' Reserve List and waived Fox for this week's transactions.  Sorry for the error.

Topper Watch

In 2005, the teams that finished in 5th-12th place in 2004 will receive a budget of up to .06 to use toward reacquiring players who had played out their option with the team (B-contract players). The exact amount each team receives will be based on how far behind the 5th place team they are at the end of the year, in terms of a percentage of the 5th place team's point total.

Based on the standings through last Thursday, here are the teams that would receive Topper Budgets for use in the 2005 Draft and the amount each team would receive:
