Real Salt Lake is sitting with something like 17 or 18 players on the books right now, and a number of those players are young and untested.
Think Sebastian Saucedo and Ricardo Velazco — those two can probably go on to be great first-team players, but they’re not quite there yet. They need opportunities, but they probably shouldn’t simply be cast into the fire.
With more than a handful of important players on the outs — Javier Morales and Juan Manuel Martinez, for instance — it’s inevitably a good thing that RSL scout Andy Williams is out in the wild right now.
