Well at least we know that those 12 are still with the team as of right now. Glad to see Zayner on the list. Looks like Crew Cat is going to back for another year too.
Crew Cat is back because he's the recognizable public face of the franchise. I hope the fact that, while the USMNT are busy warming up for their friendly Saturday afternoon, Chad Marshall is at a mall in Columbus signing autographs makes him realize he really needs to have a monster season.
Signing autographs and doing the "It's Jacket's Time" thing during pregame. O'Rourke, Busch, Ngwenya, and Thomas (and a couple of others) were laso there. I spoke with all but Ngwenya above for a couple of minutes (not a lot of traffic, but there was some) but didn't bother with the autographs as I have a ton already.
