MLL Announces 23-Man Rosters

Major League Lacrosse has announced that every team in the league has submitted its 23-Man Protected Roster for 2014. The MLL also sent out the rosters for the 8 teams. Teams are granted a 40-man roster leading into the season, and they can fill those remaining 17 spots with supplemental draft picks, college draft picks, and trades, before the start of the 2014 campaign.

Below you can find the 23-Man lists for each team. I’ll follow with a few points of interest.

Notes:

– Ohio is still listing Peter Baum as being on their 23-Man list. Interesting. Is he coming back? Is there going to be an agreement where players can play in both the LXM and MLL? Does it mean absolutely nothing? Totally possible.

– New York has SEVEN attackmen on their list. Denver has three goalies on their list. Rochester has nine midfielders. All three represent league highs.

– Boston has kept seven players whose last names begin with B. They are serious about that letter in that town. Charlotte has more players with last names that start with C than any other letter. Wait, is this some secret thing? Nope, just a coincidence. The other six teams did nothing of the sort.

– A number of active armed forces service members were kept on the 23-Man lists. Thul, Henderson, and Fullerton are three examples. Lacrosse is pretty unique in this regard, especially when it comes to team sports.

– In case you missed it, it was not a typo that Matt Striebel is now with NY. So is Ned Crotty. It’s trade city.
