Yeah... i was pretty jealous about your 1st round pick. I had a pipe dream that I would see one of the 2 As that I scouted (
Gilbert Polanco and
Chad Pinson ) slip down to me. That didn't happen.
I'm probably gonna be blowing up most of my team towards the end of this season. I'll be keeping the core group of guys that have value to the national teams (
Ted Keenan ,
Lloyd Russ ,
Rolland Benedict ,
Derek Carney , and
Kev Reynolds ), but otherwise, I'll likely sell the rest of my "veterans" by season's end. Mostly, I just wanted to remain successful enough to get my construction maxed out (which will be close by season's-end), and then just focus on playing high quality youngsters and running the U19 team.
I have several foreign guys that I'm really only planning on playing as stopgaps until I can accumulate decent enough USA born youngsters to flesh out my roster.
I might even start soliciting some of the US managers to sell their higher AQ, not great OR young guys - particularly those managers without very stout training facilities.
