This Week in CFCL History

TS Eliot will tell you that April is the cruelest month, but if you’re the bloke in charge of recording and processing transactions in the CFCL, the cruelest month may well be July.

As we noted in yesterday’s post about the CFCL trading deadline, more trades are made during July as teams scramble to position their teams appropriately before trading is frozen for the rest of the season. And it’s not just the number of trades, but the sheer size of the deals completed in July is often mind boggling.

Because of the vast number of players changing hands, these “This Week…” posts will be a bit different in July. I’ll still list all the deals and other milestones that occurred during the week, but rather than do a full analysis of each deal, we’ll do separate posts taking a look at the trading deadline winners and losers for each year.

So to get started, here’s a look at this week in CFCL history, covering the dates June 30 to July 6.

Maybe the Chops should have hung onto the 18-year-old minor leaguer playing A ball for the Kane County Cougars. Miguel Cabrera and his .02 salary formed centerpiece of the Copperfields offense for years to come.
