Finally, Toronto FC have found a way to eliminate a Puerto Rico Islander -terminate his contract. TFC announced the release of defender Marco Velez after 38 appearances for the club. The enigmatic 29 year old was capable of the odd solid game but all too often was caught on the wrong end of a defensive blunder. If truth be told, Velez is not of the quality to be an MLS starter. With TFC (aka "The Bargain Hunters") he started 31 games. Make your own Mo Johnston joke - I can't do one everyday.The Marco Velez Fan Club doesn't exactly have a ton of members in Toronto but the move does seem confusing. A day after signing Lesly "The Haiti Kid" Fellinga it seemed like TFC was adding some depth in the back but now the number has once again dropped by one. Unless there are a flurry of signings on the horizon (enter your own Mo joke #2 here) then The Reds are as paper thin today as they were two days ago. As for Velez, what can you say? You weren't TFC's worst defender - until Kevin Harmse left.
