2010 draft and allocation money

Posted by yamsmos on December 8, 2009 · Filed Under News 

so i asked, “what the hell should we talk about” and “supporter” asked that i do some research on the draft and allocation money…

to be honest, i didn’t know much about either so i guess i figured i owed it to myself to edumacate myself. hey, here is something.. want to make a few extra bucks? please go publish a website called “theMLScontractsandrulesfordummies.com and break down the nuances of allocation money, contracts, expansiondraft player protection rules etc etc… it will be a very popular site b/c much of this stuff seems to be so cryptic to the average fan.

sorry if it is obvious to some, but i know full well that not everyone knows this stuff (including me on some of it), and all i am really doing here is collecting the info i can find out on other blogs/articles etc.

as rons points out, this gets a lot more interesting when we know who is invited to the MLS combine. so until we get that, what do we know?

first, let’s start with the 2010 SuperDraft quiz question.

question: how many draft picks do the seattle sounders have next year?

- speaking of the hermann trophy watch list, here is a list of this years semifinalists for the 2009. as this list is for the top intercolegiate athelete in mens soccer, there are some names to watch on here, but only 6 of the 15 are seniors, so clearly not allof these players will be in the draft.

- as for individual stats…

you can find the highest goals per game average here.

and you can find the highest assists per game avereage here.

- then you get into the generation adidas mess and it gets even hard to know who is out there….this site does a decent job of looking at the status of those that qualify, as well as siting the source for the information. as you can see, not an exact science.

- i clearly am not an mls draft/allocation money/generation adidas guru… feel free to chime in on other facts/figures so we can all learn.
