There were a few tweets about this being the youngest atl 2 to start a game or something like that by the club --- tweet has been deleted now, can't find it.
They took a whooping.
Atl 2 and staff don't care about winning, but you would think being competitive and playing an appealing style of soccer would be a priority.
Given the current structure and landscape of soccer in this country, this isn't surprising, with no threat of being relegated, the club just uses it to get young players experience and to get first team players back in shape when coming back from injury.
I just look at a player like Castro who signed a Atl 2 deal and it looks like his career is going backwards. He dropped out of high school signed a contract and I believe (hopefully) at least got his GED equivalent.
How do minor league baseball teams handle this balance?
