Throwback Tuesday Take Two
As the quest to trawl through, and learn absolutely nothing from, Defectors history continues, here are some prospective candidates for expansion from September 2002. I apologize to any of these fine young men below if the email addresses are still valid but...come on. And for what it's worth, Hinske did win the AL ROY. One parting question: does a sock puppet count as an 'S'?
