Only players who appeared in majors for Expos. Not guys like Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee & Brandon Phillips who Omar traded (in 1 deal).

No says Elias.

All the other picks about the Johnson pick are correct.

Matt Stairs started out as an Expo, I think.

Johnson is playing minor league ball this year and Stairs called it a career after the Nats released him earlier this year.
So whether either of those two are correct answers depends on your definition of "active".

You must be referring to Miguel Batista, who I can't remember as an Expo but I'll wager he played there at one time or another.
