Keepin It Real Expectations for 2008: This one took me a long time to arrive at this conclusion, and I’m sure many RSL fans are jumping for joy over this, but I believe Carey will be a starter especially early in the season. I actually like much of what Carey brings to the table with this group of players, and his leadership should not be underestimated. I think the poor performance of Cordoba and the seemingly lack of a good fit for Kovalenko have precipitated this move.
