Johnson was protected last year after his piss poor season and with talk of him leaving. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931590118053363115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-43361977796542598252007-11-16T07:28:00.000-06:002007-11-16T07:28:00.000-06:00Jose's 2 errors were in NY, not LA :)Why protect E...Jose's 2 errors were in NY, not LA :)<BR/><BR/>Why protect Eddie? especially if he's gone....and he cost a tone of money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-9421831652196236602007-11-15T13:29:00.000-06:002007-11-15T13:29:00.000-06:00Cool list, even if I'm surprised at a couple choic...Cool list, even if I'm surprised at a couple choices (I'm not saying you're wrong either; different strokes fer different folks, etc.)<BR/><BR/>The calls that jump out at me are Colombano on the protect list, or even Marinelli - especially with Victorine on the exposed side.<BR/><BR/>Good list overall, though.The Manly Ferryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781284717499002494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-21269983131268546212007-11-15T11:21:00.000-06:002007-11-15T11:21:00.000-06:00It'd either be one or the other, not both Sasha an...It'd either be one or the other, not both Sasha and Jose. The whole expansion draft is a chess game, you leave higher priced players exposed, and protect your younger cheaper talent who you see as being a benefit. Sasha has become a bench player and bit starter, while his experienced may be missed, there is more talent on the team.<BR/><BR/>There is NO WAY you let Sealy go. You leave Sealy exposed he's gone. You gotta keep Sealy over Victorine. Especially if Johnson leaves for Europe, which seems likely. Pore and John are not ready to contribute at this level. Pore looks like he'd never be able to contribute. Sealy has shown himself to be a good striker in MLS, letting him go would be stupid, especially if your other forwards are 3 (Colombano, Pore, John) that have not shown they can consistently score in this league. You can't honestly think those 3 could fill the whole if Sealy left.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931590118053363115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-15451490768211875952007-11-15T10:03:00.000-06:002007-11-15T10:03:00.000-06:00I would hate to see Burciaga go, i think in time h...I would hate to see Burciaga go, i think in time he will pan out as a top class defender for the Wizards, and with left foot like he has we cant afford to let him go. Also, letting Victorine go would be amistake as well, i know he is getting older but his experience is much needed on this team. I would be happier to let Hohlbein or even as crazy as it sounds let Sealy go. We have Colombano, Pore, and John to play up with Johnson, On a side note, letting Movsisyan go was a mistake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
