When you’re working within the confines of one of the smallest player budgets in the league, you can’t afford many misses.
While injury has kept Mexico international Marco Fabian from proving his worth as the highest paid Union player in history at $2.27 million, it’s hard to be critical of the job Sporting Director Ernst Tanner has done stretching the dollars allotted to him by notoriously thrifty majority owner and chairman Jay Sugarman.
At least so far.
At $289,020 per point, the Union have shown through the first half of the season that it’s possible to be among the lower spenders in the league and put together enough talent to be first place in the Eastern Conference through 17 games.
