In part two, Greg and Eli continue to look at what the Union may do as they gear up for the 2012 MLS campaign. A lack of size hurt the team in the plays and the Union could look for a tall, strong forward to compliment Danny Mwanga and Sebastian Le Toux. With the Olympics this summer, the team could lose three players to National Team duty and would have to fill those gaps.
