Protected Player List Is Ridicoulous Timing

So you just won the MLS Cup on Sunday and by the time one major contributor flys back on Monday, that player will be on their way to Seattle. Isn't that nice.

My protected list:
1. GBS
2. Ekpo
3. Padula
4. Marshall
5. Rogers
6. Gaven
7. O'Rourke
8. Carroll
9. Hejduk
10. Evans
11. Moreno

I'm leaving Hesmer unprotected as it's doubtful Seattle is looking for a keeper as they already have Casey Keller.

If Marshall is deciding to go to Europe, I would replace him with Iro or Noonan.

If the Crew leave Ekpo off they are nuts. He will absolutely destroy out in Seattle if he is left unprotected. If there is some way for him to play more of a role next year for the Crew, I want to see it.

Other than that, keep the nucleus.

I'll have a post up later about my MLS Cup Celebration and reporting from the airport around midnight tonight. Toodles.
