Not seeing where Vales, Marvasti, Edson, or Zadrevec are seeing minutes and, again, the over 27s don't really support your development argument.
Actually, ON the roster I see three under 20s who have 7 league appearances between them this season. Vales the only island boy (0 appearances). And, yeah, I know the Merrimans and it is fantastic that they are coaching. Great family.
