Ex-Indians Minor Leaguers With Other Teams (ML & MiLB)

[osueddy]

Using Art's idea of the Ex-Indians playing Independent Baseball, I tried to compile a list of ex-Indian minor leaguers still playing in the minors or majors. I'm sure I've missed many and this already may be out of date as it took me awhile to do it.

You my friend are a sick man.

Seriously though, wow, thanks for the research. I may use this in MH and will give you full credit.

[InsaneJedi]

Awesome!

Just a quick point, you have Scott Elarton listed twice (in 2004 and in 2008).

[Jake Taylor]

Wow. Insane list right there. Excellent work.

Definitely had no idea many of these guys were still in baseball.

[dazindiansfanuk]

Van Every was traded to the Pirates by the Red Sox and is back in AAA.

[Upper Box Woodchuck]

Awesome list! I'll let you know if I run across anyone else's name while checking rosters.

[hoof32]

Tribe bust Brad Snyder with his first MLB base hit, a bases-loaded single for the Cubbies.

So it goes.

[GhostofTedCox]

What a list. I can't believe some of these guys are still playing!

I think you missed John McDonald with the Blue Jays.
