2013 Revolution Roster

What kills me is how much Kevin "B-Train" Allston is making. Seriously! With a lot of underpaid guys (Nguynn) who are very solid contributors, (not to mention they let Larentowiz go because they refused to pay him anything close to that) how can you justify that kind of money for an average player like that? Put another way, what kind of international signing can we get for $170k? Nyassi is another one, but people have already commented on the absurdity of that.

 

If you only knew the real guy behind the Soccer Doc name. You should have seen me in my years as a senior military commander. People under my command either produced or were quickly given the boot. You people have always mistaken me for a Mr Nice Guy. I actually learned my management style for my first boss Adm Hyman Rickover who was the worlds worst pr**k to work for. My people used to say behind my back "the apple didn't fall from the tree"

If I have my way and Blooter Burns doesn't put together a winning team this year he will consider himself lucky if his ride out on town on a rail doesn't include a coat of tar and a lot of turkey feathers

 

Mike, thank you for creating this list, great work!

Here is how I think it get's spent:

Player #18 = Walter Martinez $300,000
Player #24 = Caldwell $44,000
Players #25 - #28 = College draft choices $135,000

Leaving us $732,328 to spend on 2 players.

Still have defensive needs at this point and running into too many international players. Either need to make more trades or make it financially enticing to bring home some American defenders.

Boca?
Parkhurst?
Oneywu?

Does anyone have the link to the European transfer market players and their estimated worth?

 

Pr**cks get things done. I am Sure George Washington had his surly days.

"Sharp-tongued Hyman Rickover spurred his men to exhaustion, ripped through red tape, drove contractors into rages. He went on making enemies, but by the end of the war he had won the rank of captain. He had also won a reputation as a man who gets things done.

If we could only have an Admiral Rickover or a Gen. Curtis Lemay as the Revolution leaders, we would have a stadium built, be hoisting our 15th MLS trophy and European teams asking the Rev's to come play against them in our off-season!

 

No way Caldwell signs for $44,000. I think Guy gets shifted to the #24 spot. Caldwell gets a spot on our budget roster for around $70,000.

Then we have 3 more players on which we can spend the remaining budget

 

I've offered to take the job

 

Ryan Guy turned 26 in September. I think that means he would have to be on the senior roster in 2012, and definitely will have to be in 2013.

I have in my notes that Shuttleworth was promoted to the senior roster in January 2011, but I don't remember where I found that info. He turned 25 last May.

There's no such thing as a senior roster. The only age requirement for MLS rosters is this:

 

That's weird.

Point is, you can be on the off-budget roster and be over 25. In fact, ever single off-budget player could theoretically be over 25, as I don't see any rules that require carrying developmental players (unless the wording is weird).

 

Where does it say off-budget players have to make $33,750. It says they have to make at least $33,750.

Technically, every off budget player could be over 25 and making 44,000

 

Parkhurst ain't walking through that door any time soon, to paraphrase Rick Pitino. Let's just get that out of the way once and for all. His options in Europe have never been better - he's moving further away, not closer. The only time we possibly see Parky here again would be for a swan song, due to age and/or injury (ala JMM).

Yes. He's got some leverage - there's no way he takes a low-pay deal. And, ... we're assuming he does want to play in MLS, which hopefully is the case, but is not a foregone conclusion.

 

Well, you don't have to draft anyone. You can pass every round. However no one would ever do that, hence why I used the word "technically"

 

What's missing from the leagues Roster Rules (I assume) is that slot is determined by sorting salaries from highest to lowest (with the exception of GAs). Otherwise, teams would be stashing their highest paid players on the Off Budget Roster. In other words, the new "senior roster" is slots 1-24, but only 1-20 (or 1-18 if you leave 2 empty) count against the Salary Budget.

So, sorting by guar salary, here is the Revs Roster at the end of the 2012 season:

Slot Player............Pos.Base ..Guar ($K)
1... Feilhaber, B......M...400....446
2... Toja, J...........M...200....200
3... Alston, K.........D...120....169
4... Reis, M...........GK..157....160
5... Sene, S...........F...138....149
6... Bengston, J.......F...120....120
7... Soares, A.........D...76.5...116.5
8... Cardenas, F.......M...100....100
9... Nyassi, S.........M...84.....90.8
10...McCarty, S........M...51.7...83
11...Imbongo, D........F...70.....80
12...Gavin, B..........M...60.....80
13...Simms, C..........M...75.....78
14...Tierney, C........M...73.....75
15...Barnes, D.........D...68.....69
16...Nguyen, L.........M...44.....50.5
17...Lechner, F........D...44.....48
18...Guy, R............M...44.....44
19...unused.........
20...unused.........
=====================================
21...Rowe, K...........M...75.....156
22...Polak, T..........D...60.....73
23...Fagundez, D ......F...55.....56
24...Murray, T.........GK..44.....44
25...Shuttleworth, B...GK..44.....44
26...Brettschneider, B.F...33.8...33.8
27...Purdie, A.........F...33.8...33.8
28...Roach, M..........F...33.8...33.8
29...unused.........
30...unused.........


I am assuming Fagundez is home grown GA, otherwise, swap him with Guy.

 

Doc, could you retroactively pin the doll to the post?

 

No way I would post a picture of Blooter since I think it would screwup my computer just like everything else he's been involved in has. You'll just have to relax and let your mind enjoy the image of Mickey covered in VooDoo pins.

 

I read on another board that the full age DP slot will take a $367k cap hit this season, but this has not yet been confirmed by an official MLS document as the 2013 rules have not been released to the public yet.

 

Go to transfermarkt.co.uk and search for those guys. Click on performance data to see season by season specifics.

I would link to their pages directly but the iPad makes linking a pain in the ass.
