Every once in a while someone asks about a list of Indy players. Well, here's one.

Some Indy websites are better than others, and the rosters are fairly fluid. In no way am I claiming this to be an exhaustive list or even a list of correct players. I took decent care to get things right, but some teams have no posted rosters and some others appear to have, at best, outdated rosters. For example, several players are listed on multiple rosters, and many are also listed as college assistant coaches.

Anyway, it's a start. Please add or delete players if you have better info than I, which I'm sure many of you do. I don't plan to update this list nearly as often as I do the MiLB list, if ever. Tis a long list with many variables.

The alphabetical list has my best assumptions on the players' current teams.

An interesting article detailing some cash-flow problems for the North American League's Lake County Fielders (Zion, Ill.).
What I find even more interesting is that Jose Canseco put himself into the game, worked six innings on the mound, and came away with the win.  Comeback, anyone?  ::)
