MLS should write off Galaxy's Hernandez as a bad investment and send him packing. Both good and bad can be found from recent MLS actions. MLS cost-cutting could become apparent with sixth season nearing. Player transfer intrigue is a sign that MLS is growing in stature. It Seems To Me . . .
Thin draft produces answers for few teams.
It also has to be understood this draft was carried out against a background of reduced roster sizes and a slightly reduced salary cap.

In the glow that followed MLS successfully defending a lawsuit brought by its players, statements were made that now the league could put the millions being spent on legal fees into player salaries. That has not happened.
