An Improved Front Office in 2009

As I mentioned in my Midseason Review last week the Rapids Front Office has been greatly improved this year. First and foremost they have made solid player decisions since the end of the 2008 season such as:

• Offering Bouna a 6-figure contract, then when he turned it down making a good move to get Matt Pickens
• Getting out of the Christian Gomez mess, and getting our DP slot + a player back
• Signing young players LaBrocca, Cummings, Clark, Harvey, Kimura, and Ihemelu to new 4 year contracts
• Trading a draft pick for Ty Harden
• Signing captain Pablo Mastroeni to a new long term deal

The only bad player move the Front Office has made is not making enough good moves.
