2009 Released Players

Ever wondered at certain points this season where a certain player disappeared to or why he was never mentioned? Chances are, the player was released. Most of those players were announced as soon as they were released, but I have collected all the player releases over the course of 2009 into one comprehensive lise below. This listing will be housed in the reference section on the right panel and will continue to be updated through the end of the year.

* Note, this is from info I have received throughout the year from the Indians and their affiliates. Not all releases are made public or are mentioned, so if you see any omissions please let me know and I will research and add accordingly.
