One of the more surprising takeaways from the Houston Dynamo’s first three games has been the complete absence of offseason signing Alejandro Fuenmayor, the 21-year-old Venezuelan that was seen by many as a day one starter. He has yet to play a minute for a team still without starting right back AJ DeLaGarza.
Kevin Garcia has already played 225 minutes this season, more MLS minutes than the 27-year-old had accumulated in his entire career prior to 2018, and there isn’t much doubt that the former RGVFC captain is not an MLS-caliber player.
