Winter break activities...

*Another wasted youth pull. We get a lvl 27 keeper named Reese. He only has 32 defense. I guess his advantage is 42 control, which makes him really good against headers, but that's not worth a 55 defense drop from Pressley.

*I have 6 starters up for contract renewal.

*This means it's time to sell the 31 yr old Epperson. He's been terrific for us for a long time. I sell him for $507,000. I bought him for $104,000 and renewed for $92,700.

*I extend Pressley for 3 yrs, $150,969.

*I extend Cannon for 3 yrs, $7,863.

*I extend Carrier for 3 yrs, $18,557.

*I extend Reese for 3 yrs, $309, 692.

*I pay to look at the global list, because I now need a backup midfielder or a good CD so I can switch out Grubbs.

*This leaves me with $65,516.
