1976 Expansion Draft

sweaver · 02-02-2002, 04:26 PM

Who was the first player selected in the 1976 expansion draft, which team selected him, and from which team?

Who was the second player selected, by the other expansion team, and from which team?

I think Ruppert Jones, by Seattle (from KC), is one of them.

Oh, you should see Ruppert Jones, when he rattles his bones............

Rupe is correct. Who was the Jays' first draft?

Dig the poem.

Was it Dave Lemanczyk for the Blue Jays?

Not Lemanczyk, although he was a first-round pick, as the Jays concentrated on young pitchers, and continued to lose 100 games for years.

Jim Clancy?

Bob Bailor from the O's?

I think Phil Roof was the first official Blue Jay, as he signed in October.

Right on both counts, Smed.
