The expansion draft took place today with the new teams looking good coming into their inaugral Big Ell MLB seasons.
Tai-Pan had the first pick and took Alfonson Soriano who is a fantsay monster. He is joined in the outfield by Ichiro and Jemaine Dye in what could be the best outfield in the Big Ell. Garett Atkins was also another fine pickup.
The Shiretowners are also looking good with perenial all-star Michael Young joining reigning NL Cy Young Brandon Webb. Paul Konerko is another solid pick while the Shiretowners went out on a bit of limb choosing OF Alex Rios.
The angriest owner has to be Ryan Davidson of the defending champion Taiwan E's who lost three players Young, Atkins and Rios. Rumors were flying that a deal was about to be made with the Montana Astros but nothing was completed.
