Steve Davis from MLSnet.com writes about how versatile standouts like Steve Ralston or Jonathan Bornstein have been key components to their team's success this season.
With rosters across Major League Soccer getting stretched like taffy at the state fair, a versatile performer can greatly enhance his value in the big picture in steadily expanding MLS.
It's one thing if an athlete can play in a position beyond his preferred spot and not be a total disaster at the alternate location. But a fellow who can actually fill a hole and manage to be effective as a stop-gap, that fellow has greatly elevated his stock in the eyes of a manager who is straining to make due during times of smaller rosters and swollen schedules.
