Rosters to date
By my count, only Chatham, Falmouth and Harwich are missing 2009 rosters. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Last season I note that we reported on Harwich’s new roster on March 5 and Chatham’s on March 24.
With March blowing in next week perhaps we’ll start to see some new rosters.
About this time every year I copy and paste the team rosters into a Microsoft Word document, which serves the purpose of placing all rosters in one place. Through Word’s “find” function I can then easily search for schools and players before I watch a regular season college game.
I have a complete set of rosters for every season in a Word document going back a few seasons so that I can also find Cape alums who still may be playing college or rookie ball.
Are there any new patterns in the timeliness of teams posting their rosters? I think Chatham and Harwich are often among the last, although I recall Orleans being late in the past.
In the past, it was always a flip of the coin to see if Orleans or Chatham posted their roster last. You could count on those teams being the last to post. This year, surprisingly, Orleans posted their roster very early. Falmouth is later than usual this year. In past years, the Commodores often posted the next season’s roster before the end of the calendar year. Hopefully there will be some news from those three franchises soon!
Falmouth’s website has not been updated with really anything in a long while so perhaps it is a simple matter of having someone to do it. Based on what I’ve seen the last couple of years, I think some of the franchises are relying on summer interns to do a lot of the website updates. (Brewster and Orleans are examples of this….and I think Falmouth did the same last summer also)
Chatham just waits for some odd reason….perhaps they wait to put bios together? Not sure.
I think Wareham, Hyannis, Cotuit have been generally among the first to publish the rosters.
Commodores roster is online.
I submitted our roster for publication.
