    Good for Steve! He came into an awful backline in the middle of the circus...glad he got a couple years down in the minors to get some experience.

    I think Cronin is a much better keeper than most on here give him credit for. He's no Gato or Ricketts, but its good to see him get a chance in MLS.

    true that he's not THAT bad, but it's hard to make an argument in favor of calling him very good either. to be fair, he had an atrocious back line to deal with.

    then again, this is the same guy Wicks beat out for a job, right?

    He's awful! I am so happy he's gone and Rickett's in.

    Kyle Veris and Mike Randolph both played with Miami FC this past season. Not sure how they fared individually but the team itself wasn't very good.

    Troy Roberts was defensive player of the year for Rochester who finished with the best record in the regular season but then lost to PRI in the playoffs. With the expansion teams and expanded rosters next season I would not be surprised at all if he was back in MLS next year.
