Carlos Ruiz’s future looks in doubt.  Ruud Gullit decided not to include Carlos Ruiz in his 18 man traveling roster to DC on Sunday, despite finally re-gaining his health.  Ruiz was injured in the first game of the season and has appeared sparingly since.  Ruiz also seems to be surplus of requirements at forward.  With Edson Buddle and Landon Donovan combining to score 21 goals, Ruiz has struggled for playing time.  Another reason Ruiz is on the trading block is the Galaxy’s atrocious defense.  LA has allowed a league leading 28 goals in 14 games, yup, 2 goals a game.  You cannot expect to win while letting up an average of two goals a game.  Alexi Lalas realizes the need for defensive re-enforcement and Ruiz’s DP level salary if offloaded could clear some space to sign a defender.  Chivas USA is interested in Ruiz and it would be ideal for Ruiz as he would not have to leave Los Angeles.  

Do you think the deal will get done?  What will LA do?  Comments are welcome below.
