Imagine this scenario: a vain, once-talented, and highly paid veteran is hanging around your locker room but not playing, despite the obvious problems in defense. That's the kind of situation that causes a team more harm than good.</I>Joseph D'Hippolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571554907399914529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-21917087454090543292008-07-18T15:35:00.000-07:002008-07-18T15:35:00.000-07:00Oh, I forgot...Hi, Justin and Sahar!Oh, I forgot...<BR/><BR/>Hi, Justin and Sahar!Joseph D'Hippolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571554907399914529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-2239807125414065912008-07-18T15:32:00.000-07:002008-07-18T15:32:00.000-07:00Additionally, the Galaxy have waived defender Abel...<I>Additionally, the Galaxy have waived defender Abel Xavier.</I><BR/><BR/>Well, it was bloody well about time!<BR/><BR/>Galaxy fans, YOUR LONG NIGHTMARE IS NOW OVER!<BR/><BR/>And now, a word from Bozo the Mad Genius, w/commentary interspersed:<BR/><BR/><I>Abel has been a wonderful professional at our club and I want to personally thank him for coming to Los Angeles and being a part of the Galaxy family.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, he was a wonderful professional.

But there are exceptions.<BR/><BR/>Each team can leave a player or two hanging after the July 1 date, pending outcomes regarding other deals that may be in the works. Los Angeles is trying to trade players -- including Carlos Ruiz -- so it can clear salary-cap space to bring in a defender reported to be Eduardo Dominguez and perhaps one other player. New York has signed Venezuelan midfielder Jorge Rojas and Argentine defender Juan Pietravallo but needs to make other moves to officially register them.<BR/><BR/>For those unfortunates twisting in the wind, they may need to wait a week or two to find out if their contracts are indeed guaranteed, and can still be waived during that period. At best, they'll be traded and their contracts will still be in force; at worse, they're cut loose before the All-Star Game.A.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03617669285297119500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-3363987302228396702008-07-18T14:02:00.000-07:002008-07-18T14:02:00.000-07:00Andrea, any chance you can find out IF X salary st...Andrea, any chance you can find out IF X salary still counts against the G's cap (since he was cut after July 1st) and if Dominguez, at least this year is paid with allocation money ?Ben7https://www.blogger.com/profile/06297948696517797221noreply@blogger.com
