So much for that idea.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, then I really think keeping a 3rd keeper is overkill, and if you are keeping 3 why not keep the cheaper and bigger upside Hughes instead of the journeyman Burpo/Jason Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203216444033618955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400528122511005165.post-75389333667710109462009-03-03T18:28:00.000-07:002009-03-03T18:28:00.000-07:00Thanks for the insight.

Smith said in his interview with wewantrapidsman last year that Burpo might become a player/coach this season, so I'm guessing that's why we kept a third GK. The position might be better served, given the roster limits, on a field player but the team might see the savings of a player/coach as opposed to a separate GK coach as worth it.Jason Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203216444033618955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400528122511005165.post-7964592820984092602009-03-03T18:14:00.000-07:002009-03-03T18:14:00.000-07:00I'm not surprised to see the Rapids letting go a f...I'm not surprised to see the Rapids letting go a few players like Justin Hughes. It was bound to happen to a few promising players smaller roster this year. <BR/><BR/>I would be curious why the Rapids with the smaller roster feel they have to carry a 3rd GK. Did the league drop having a league GK or three? After all, what are the chances that Pickens will miss even a single game. Seems like they'd be better served using that spot for a field player.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237280803429555051noreply@blogger.com
