As I've said many times before, I couldn't tell you a single thing about any of the Chivas players. However, what does that tell us that practically the entire league passed on the other players? Especially the "sexy" names.
The MLS website said that every team that made a pick in Round 1 had a chance to pick in Round 2 but they all passed.They only went 1 round?

Could just be a way to get those players cheaper right?Gotcha. Man, those players must be bummed.
I think you are right, apparantly salaries were guaranteed if selected in the dispersal draft, the bigger names will most likely be picked up in waiver or re-entry draft or just signed when all drafts are overCould just be a way to get those players cheaper right?
Exactly, now all these players contracts can be renegotiated which is what the teams apparently worked together to do.
Not as much fun as I hoped, but NYCFC got one player.
I don't know about this guy, but I am happy to have him. In kreis we trust
Oh good, now I know he looks steak and country musicWhat do you mean you don't know him? I specifically posted a youtube video "getting to know Matt Dunn"...
In MLS's defense, this was was a unusual draft. We don't contract every year. Hopefully it never ever happens again.This was just weird. Trust we made a good pick. MLS needs to revamp a lot of things, it looks like amature hour everytime they do something.

It does seem that many players were at small contracts, why would it hurt to pick the up. I assume the coaches and GM knows.i guess to disperse the guys who are making the min fairly. this draft was a very low risk player acquisition mechanism, kind of a buzz kill, here's to hoping the expansion draft is more fun
Players picked up during the expansion draft were announced as protected, from what I saw.Might it also make sense to pass on players that they aren't willing to protect in the expansion draft? This way, the expansion teams can't just snatch them right out of their hands, instead they can be signed afterwards.
