I’ve been out of town and away from the computer for the holiday weekend so I missed the expansion draft.  San Jose was able to draft 10 players while I was gone.  I don’t have much else to say (or the energy) so I’ll leave you with the list:

  • Ryan Cochrane (Houston Dynamo)
  • Clarence Goodson (FC Dallas)
  • Ned Gravaboy (Columbus Crew)
  • James Riley (New England Revolution)
  • Joe Vide (New York Red Bulls)
  • Ivan Guerrero (Chicago Fire)
  • Brain Carroll (DC United)
  • Jason Hernandez (Chivas USA)
  • Gavin Glinton (LA Galaxy)
  • Chris Pozniak (Toronto FC)

No one picked up from Kansas City Wizards, Real Salt Lake or Colorado Rapids.
