http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/12/08/mls-clubs-release-2014-expansion-draft-protected-lists-heres-whos-available- The Dynamo release a list of their players who are protected and unprotected for the Expansion Draft of NY City and Orlando on this Wednesday. Unprotected Corey Ashe Servando Carrasco Omar Cummings David Horst Samuel Inkoom Brian Ownby Anthony Arena Michael Lisch Mark Sherrod Joe Willis Protected Giles Barnes DaMarcus Beasley Oscar Boniek Garcia Will Bruin Ricardo Clark Brad Davis Tyler Deric Luis Garrido Alex Lopez Kofi Sarkodie Jermaine Taylor Automatically Protected AJ Cochran (Generation adidas) Jason Johnson (Generation adidas) Bryan Salazar (Homegrown) Memo Rodriguez (Homegrown)
Surprised Ashe is not protected, he has trade value. He's a guarantee to be picked Should've switched him and bruin
They're also assuming Beasly can make it through a season relatively healthy. Who does bruin have naked pictures of? Seriously...how bad do you have to be to get cut from this team.
Notice the tear Giles Barnes went on down the stretch last season without the burden of playing next to Bruin too. Everyone is better off with him off the field
I'm glad Ashe wasn't picked. Anyone know if any of our players are eligible for the Waiver Draft later today? Or if there's anyone we could possibly pick up in that draft, since the Dynamo pick 5th?
It looks like the Waiver Draft isn't really a draft. The first 3 teams picked up someone, every other team passed. I guess it's just a one-time, offseason waiver wire and every eligible player who isn't "drafted" becomes a free agent.

Things have turned in the past 6 months, nice to see the team spend money. Hard to compete against bigger clubs without it, MLS is quickly turning into the MLB model.

Ugh. Hope it's not another LANDíN. He might be younger and faster and all that, but the Dynamo need to sign more midfielders who help Davis keep the ball... not forwards who can't get the ball. Anyway, I hope this is a good signing.
