Just got word that Bobby Boswell will be wearing orange for the good guys again! The Dynamo announced today that the Dynamo Defender of the Year, Iron Man of the Year and Fans Player of the Year signed a multi-year deal to return to The Rob. This is great news for the team and the fans.
At the same time, the team announced that they have traded Patrick Ianni to Seattle for a conditional pick in next years SuperDraft. The pick will be a third rounder unless Ianni plays 20 or more league and playoff games. If he does, the pick is upgraded to a second round slot. Since PI went to non-GA status during the off-season, he became a high-cost, low-production liability for both the team and the front office. It was obvious to most that if Boswell did re-up, Magnum was most likely a goner.
So what does this mean to the lineup in 09? I would imagine that Richard Mulrooney lost his starting right back position before he even got comfortable. I see James starting at right back with Roon backing up both James and Rico. It looks like Rico could potentially miss quite a few games because of USMNT duty (WCQ, Gold Cup & Confed Cup), so depth will be key again this year. Now let's go get El Chaco and we will be ready to roll!
