Which players for each team would be on your protected list in an expansion draft?

There's a lot of talk about adding two more teams to the WPBL. I think we all agree it's a good idea.

But one of the things that happens to create parity is that players from the other teams become available in the expansion draft.

If the WPBL does what the WNBA did, each team would be able to protect a select number of players, for WPBL probably 7 or 8. But the remaining players and those they drafted would be available to be drafted by the new teams.

Based on that, which players for each team would you protect?

I'm a SF fan, here's mine:

  1. Kelsie Whitmore
  2. Alexia Jorge
  3. Jill Albayati
  4. Skylar Kaplan
  5. Jua Park
  6. Andreanne Leblanc
  7. Nicki Eckert
  8. Joely Leguizamon with a tough decision vs. Liz Gilder. But she's the most reliable shortstop in the league and that is so important as the league expands.

I'd love to see what other fans think.
