    No expansion draft this time, so the way we will lose players is limited to:

    Decline to resign free agents
    Decline to pick up options/Decline to re-negotiate club options down
    Trade players

    That said:

    Protect to one degree or another -

    Accam, Busch (as a backup), Doody HGP, Collin Fernandez HGP, Eric Gehrig, Sean Johnson, Joevin Jones,
    Patrick Nyarko, Matt Polster, Harry Shipp HGP, Gilberto (I guess)

  4. No love for Sparky? No need to fix him since he isn't broken.

    I'd flush the whole team down the toilet.

    Except: Accam, Nyarko, Shipp, Johnson, Jones, Polster

    Keep Polster, Johnson, and Stephens. Maybe Accam. Everyone else can go.

    Sparky was fixed when Andrew decided to follow Bob Barker's advice back in 2008.

    The Fire have not given birth to any unwanted trophies since that time.

    The Fires medical program consists of Uberfare to the Novacare.

    Still baffles me that a "professional" soccer team in the premier division of the USA doesn't have it's own medical staff.

    The problem is not even the outsourcing. It is the fact that the players were complaining about not receiving the best care possible. If you are going to outsource, you expect the quality to be better (In Soccer, I know real life doesn't work this way).

    I think you mean we should protect Franklin, Grant, Jackson, Washington and some other dudes.
