Talk:List of Major League Baseball replacement players

Players on the initial version of this list were taken from this site. Please add individual footnotes from news sources as redundant confirmation, when possible. -Colin Kimbrell 14:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Since these citations could go away at any time, here's the info for the physical newspapers in which they were also published (for those that aren't web-only):
 * "Who Were Those Guys" in the March 31, 2001 edition of the Kansas City Star, by Steve Rock.
 * "Five years later, replacements still feel the heat" in the May 23, 2000 edition of the Holland Sentinel (of Holland, Michigan), uncredited.
 * "The Tides Have Talent, With More on the Way: A Second Wave Will Wash in With the Return of Players on the Mets' Roster." in the April 5, 1995 edition of The Virginian-Pilot (of Norfolk, Virginia), by Tom Robinson.

The list of replacement players who appeared in the major leagues apparently does not include those who had appeared in the majors before the strike, but did not appear after it. Two such players are Oil Can Boyd (Red Sox/Expos/replacement White Sox) and Willie Hernandez (Tigers, Phillies, etc./replacement Yankees). I know there are more, but I remember those two off the top of my head.

David Newhan of the Orioles was a replacement player. Edgar Caceres, now a minor-league manager, was the first one to show up in MLB, I believe, with the KC Royals.

If you could find a site with the complete replacement-player rosters, you could update and complete this list.
