Over at Fifty Five One, an ongoing series evaluates each MLS team's relative performance in the DP era - who have they signed to designated player contracts and how did they do compared to their salary.

Reader Paul Kahl writes a poetic and fitting tribute to Mr. Sounders himself, Zach Scott, in this FanPost.
