Usually an expansion draft is a chance for other teams to trim the fat (and slow) from their line-up, but this Wednesday's expansion draft for the new San Jose Earthquakes features several quality players that could make the 'Quakes a contender right away.
There are of course players from Real Salt Lake and TFC listed as well, but that would be like taking the irregular scraps at a scrap-making factory (or something like that). Here is a decent starting line-up for San Jose on opening day, considering (very roughly) things like salary cap and so forth:
GOALKEEPER
P. Onstad
DEFENDERS
J. Burciaga, C. Waibel, A. Yi, G. Vanney
MIDFIELDERS
K. Martino, P. Vagenas, A. Dorman, Denilson
FORWARDS
J. Wolyniec, F. Doe
