DRAFT: Expanded rosters allowing BSL owners new flexibility

As the BSL began Round 13 of the 2010 draft, it became pretty clear very fast that this was going to be a completely different part of the draft. For the first time in this league there is a place for patience. The best example is the high profile addition of David Beckham. Even before the "Reserve Rule" was passed and made into effect his name was floated around as a prime example of the kind of player who could now fit into an expanded BSL roster. Beckham isn't due back until August which would have been owner suicide only a day ago. Union S.C. wanted him, but Burud Town got him. Now both teams will have to wait until very close to the end of the BSL regular season to see how that will affect both clubs. Some clubs took more immediate advantage of these expanded rosters. St.Louis Cure added Brek Shea to its roster. This young man could produce decent numbers this year and be the steal of this round with the most immediate benefits. Montgomery County used this round to re-aquire Jason Garey. A player the champ's released only a day ago due to the confines of roster space, is now back on the Monarch's roster. Will this make them that much stronger?
