After a quiet first two months of the off-season, and with team management stating they were "not banking" on Thursday's MLS SuperDraft for major help, Red Bulls fans could be forgiven for thinking the team might not even show up in Kansas City.

The Yankees were forced to put Dustin Moseley on the mound a day early when AJ Burnett came down with back spasms and it worked out pretty well for the Yankees.
