    Re: What players are not in the game because they\'re not in the union?

    Sorry to dredge this up from 5 days ago, but...

    Here is a list of all players that are not members of the MLBPA:

    Players on current 40-man major league rosters who are not allowed membership in the players' union:

    Benny Agbayani, Kansas City
    Brian Daubach, Boston
    Brendan Donnelly, Anaheim
    Angel Echevarria, Chicago Cubs
    Charles Gipson, Tampa Bay
    Matt Herges, San Francisco
    Cory Lidle, Cincinnati
    Kerry Ligtenberg, Toronto
    Ron Mahay, Texas
    Tom Martin, Los Angeles
    Walt McKeel, New York Mets
    Frank Menechino, Oakland
    Lou Merloni, Cleveland
    Kevin Millar, Boston
    Damian Miller, Oakland
    Eddie Oropesa, San Diego
    Keith Osik, Baltimore
    Rick Reed, Pittsburgh
    Chuck Smith, Atlanta
    Shane Spencer, New York Mets
    Pedro Swann, Baltimore
    Jeff Tam, Colorado
    Brian Tollberg, Colorado
    Chris Truby, Pittsburgh
    Jamie Walker, Detroit

    Good article here
    "The non-members are represented by the union in bargaining and are eligible for pensions, but aren't allowed in union meetings and don't receive a share of the union's licensing income. In fact, their names and images can't be used on merchandise licensed by the MLBPA. A T-shirt celebrating Arizona's World Series victory last year included the reproduced signatures of all the Diamondbacks except catcher Damian Miller, who played in a single spring replacement game."
    Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a ttoal jmulbe and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

            I don't know...I don't have the game yet. I have ASB 04, but have been working too much overtime to get 05 yet. Maybe someone else can shine some light on this?

                  Not all the players have placeholders. I know Daubach and Millar don't.
