Okay so I was sitting here and thinking at this pace we will not be able to vote on all of the players if we do it one at a time. So I am going to start doing them in batches (except for the bigger names). Don't forget to check out the other players in the Community Protected List section.
How it works:
- For each player we will post a front page article highlighting a specific players pros/cons and any stats (if available)
- Vote by posting a Yes (to Protect) or No (don't Protect) in the subject of a comment, then explain why in the message
- We (the editors) will keep track of all the yes/no votes for each player
- At the end of the whole roster we will total up the results and post the community's Protected list
- Your list will be compared to the list of each contributing editor
- The only player we will not be voting on is Darlington Nagbe as he is automatically protected based on his Generations Adidas Status.
More After the Jump
Chris Taylor
Info
Chris made no first team appearances however lead the team in reserve team minutes with 765. He currently makes a paltry $32,600.
Pros
He is a left back that shows promise, which is one of the hardest positions to fill.
Cons
Young and needs time to develop
Spencer Thompson
Info
Making $4 dollars more than Chris Talyor (That might cause contention in the Locker Room). He had his season cut short this year with knee injury but had scored 2 reserve team goals and had an assit
Pros
Shows great work rate as a forward and has shown a nose for the goal.
Cons
Young and way down the depth chart.
Kevin Goldthwaite
Info
Kevin is in his 9th year in the MLS and has played with 5 different teams. His best year was 2008 with the New York Redbulls with 28 starts. Since that year he has only played 21 games. Current Salary is $126,667.
Stats
| Year | Club | GP | GS | G | MIN | A | SHT | SOG | FC | OFF | Y | R |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | Portland Timbers | 4 | 3 | 1 | 190 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Pros
A veteran defender who has been in the league for a while.
Cons
Has been hurt in the last few years and hasn't been able to make the field.
For the group votes just vote with the names and yes/no in the subject (ie Thompson-no Goldthwaite-Yes...)

No, No, No
If they want them, sure. The first two are no because they’re here, but who knows if they’ll get cut by next March. Goldwaithe’s salary will scare Montreal away. Or that’s the plan.
Jag kom, jag såg, erövrade jag.
drive on
in baseball terms these are replacement level players
No x3
Goldie might be a good defensive sub but that’s about it. Taylor and Thompson have talent and need time. If they’re taken (which I believe to be a 0% chance) they’ll be easily replaced.
Blazers win!
No, No, No
I was going to let you know that we would not finish before the expansion draft at the rate of one per day. But I thought maybe you would have some finale of 10 players at once or something.
These three clearly are all no. good idea clumping them together.
No no no
there’s very little risk in leaving them exposed

Yes no no
I think Taylor has the chance to develop nicely And those 4 dollars are a big deal, it’s practically a small coffee!
Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!

No , No ,No
All expendable. Not even close to top eleven candidates
Yes, no, no
Taylor is cheap, durable, young and plays in a position of need. Second year players do get picked in these drafts.
Spencer is nicknamed here in Irvine as “freight train”, not for his speed but for his tendency to run full steam into and through people. It leads to him getting hurt a lot. When he’s better able to reign that in he might develop into a great impact sub. Long term you don’t want to have to sub out an injured player in the third minute.
I’d love it if they took Goldie. He’s expensive, he’s old and not in our plans.
