Home at last


I've never understood why some people get in a snit about movements placing the youngest MLS players near their homes. Yes, I understand that once they sign contracts, they're professionals, but they're still kids in some cases. When the LA Galaxy traded a 16-year-old DaMarcus Beasley back to Chicago nearly instantly, it just made sense to me. David Arvizu is finally with the team he wanted to play for all along and he's back with his family. Of course, it doesn't always work out for players to stay with their hometown club, but at least Arvizu's getting a chance there.
