I can understand protecting Charlie Davies if you've got a rumor of trade interest that you
think might enable you to significantly improve the team1. I can even plunge past the mystifying
decision to protect a well-past-it Simms if a pay-cut or trade are on the horizon.
But Korb and Woolard?

TFC lowers prices for three upcoming CONCACAF Champions League matches. Why I feel that they have

Okay, so let me see if I can prove my work here.
Trade, Spring, 2010
IN - Troy Perkins
OUT - Fred, 1st round pick, allocation money
Trade, Fall/Winter, 2010
IN - Steve Cronin, allocation money
OUT - Troy Perkins
Trade, Spring, 2011
IN - Fred
OUT - 2nd round pick
Doing a little trade-algebra ninjutsu makes Perkins, Fred, and the allocation money* cancel out,
leaving us with the equation:
Steve Cronin = 1st round pick + 2nd round pick
Really?
