In regards to the starting lineup, it’s a two party race between RB Michael Harrington and GK Jorge Bava, and no one else is close. The fact that no one other starters are involved in this conversation is promising.
The main reason for that promise is Nelson Rodriguez. Rodriguez, entering his second full season as General Manager of the club, has been able to quickly redesign the on-field product, especially during the latest transfer window.
Rodriguez’s current apprehension to address the right back position seems to stem from the desire to attract a better talent. That would make Harrington a placeholder, which suits me perfectly.
