Hernandez, Jason – defender
Huckerby, Darren – midfielder
Johnson, Ryan - forward
Lima, Francisco – midfielder
Salinas, Shea – midfielder

Any players on this list you feel they should not have protected? Word was that Lima and Sealy may not be coming back anyways. Did protecting them leave other players needlessly exposed?
