The 2010 season may be only be a few days dead, but the 2011 season has already kicked off with
the Expansion Draft.
The Vancouver Whitecaps and the Portland Timbers added ten players to their initial MLS rosters
on Wednesday as their clubs began to take shape for the 2011 season.
Major League Soccer has released the names of the players protected by each of the 16 current
MLS teams ahead of Wednesday's MLS Expansion Draft.
Portland and Vancouver will choose from the players left unprotected on Monday, with each MLS
team in position to lose as many as two players in the expansion draft.
TSG's Jay Bell takes a look at the MLS club non-protected lists.
On Wednesday, Portland and Vancouver will take the first steps in truly building their MLS
teams. Each will select 10 players who they feel will best fit the direction and identity of the
team. Both look to be more ambitious than Philadelphia was last season, who went with youth.
