All SPB I 1968 Managers,  With expansion looming on the horizon for the coming 1969 season, it appears that many of these expansion players were targeted by their 1968 managers as prime cantidates for the overuse list of 1968.  Following is the total list of players lost because of failing to use at least the required 50% of their at bats for batters, or total games for pitchers. 

 

I will use the team,  68 mgr, players, main position, and their designation for the 1969 (or laters SPB seasons.  CODES:  FIN ( finished - career over, 1968 last elgible year),  EXP (expansion player already picked by exp. team)  EXP** (expansion player NOT picked, will appear in 69 or later rookie draft), or the next available year a player will appear in the SPB rookie draft. Example (1969) for those players who are not expansion or finished.
