The MLS expansion draft has a long storied history (2 whole years, right?) of players never actually seeing any action for the expansion team that drafted them. In that tradition I give you Seattle Sounders FC expansion draft pick Jeff Parke. Parke's a solid MLS defender with lots of talent that will probably end up in europe playing for some 2nd division sweedish team because the MLS salary cap blows. On the other hand he's a cheater that got busted using andro, so good riddance.However, Seattle did pick up a couple of guys I would expect to make the final team. Nate Jaqua is a guy that's been linked to seattle for what seems like forever. Jaqua is a tall guy that should be able to score some goals for Seattle. He also has a couple of caps for the USMNT which is good I guess. EJ or Ching must have been sick those days. Nathan Sturgis is also a guy that on paper looks like a lock for the team. He's a young midfielder with a ton of NCAA accolades, that can play defense if asked to. Plus, according to wikipedia, he drew some attention from the staff at Chelsea when the Galaxy did a tour of europe a couple years ago.
