Rojas or Behncke

I have to throw this one out there after last game. Is Marlon Rojas really not as good as Matt Behncke? Maybe there were other issues with Rojas, but I would have to think that one will have to be hard pressed to find a worse defender than Matt Behncke. I understand the international position may have been a factor. This begs the question, who should RSL have waived, Rojas or Behncke. :signgrrrr

I actually don't mind Behncke. I think he's a decent player, although he needs a leader in the back with him in order to be effective. I never really thought Rojas did a poor job. In my mind, we should have waived someone other than either of those two - perhaps O'Brien? I've seen more to be impressed with Behncke and Rojas than I have from O'Brien.

Guys, I am not sure how to say this, but the reason Rojas got booted and Bechke did not, is money. Rojas may have been only a little better than Bechkne, but Matt B makes about 1/4 what M. Rojas made.

Ditto that!

Rojas also plays the same position as Broome.
