10/10/1968 - Expansion Time
With four teams entering the league in the 1969 season it was time to get ready for the expansion draft, and submitting a list of 15 players to protect.
This was a tough one, and I'm pretty sure we're going to end up losing some important players, but the list of 15 protected players was:
SP - Denny McLain
SP - Denny Lemaster
SP - Larry Dierker
SP - Dick Drott
MR - Alan Foster
MR - Steve Carlton
C - Johnny Bench
1B - George Scott
2B - Sandy Alomar, Jr.
3B - Bill Melton
SS - Bobby Murcer
LF - Carlos May
LF - Lou Piniella
CF - Rick Monday
