MLS Superdraft: Round 2

DC takes Carroll at #11.

Metros trade 1st rounder next season for #12 pick.

 

Metros take Gaven at #12.

 

DC take Brian Carroll from Wake Forest

 

DC gets Carroll. A forward, a defender, and a midfielder so far. All P-40.

 

SJ trades Conrad for KC's #13. Takes Alvarez.

 

DC takes Warren, GK, Clemson.

 

Burn takes Thompson, F from E. Ill.

 

SJ trades #16 to LA for a player to be named later.

 

This trade was a bit confusing as it was listed at MLSnet. I believe it goes like this - the Galaxy traded down to #12 with Dallas moving up to #10, then the Galaxy traded the #12 for a first rounder next year, which is listed as "The Galaxy's natural 1st round pick in 2004." IOW they reacquired their #1 pick for next year.

I don't recall when we moved a future first rounder to the MetroStars, but I'll bet someone can remind me.

I personally don't agree with the wisdom of trading essentially the #10 pick in this year's draft for what is likely to be a late first rounder next year. But I guess maybe Sigi feels that with the #19 & #20 upcoming and Gonzalez and Chacon in the fold, he can afford to look ahead.

 

LA takes Scott Thompson, UCLA at 16.

 

Bad call. Dave Foley's had a much better career.

 

i was thinking the exact same thing

 

*Rimshot*

Crew trade pick to Metros for player to be named later and 2nd rounder.

 

Metros take Tim Regan, D, Bradley.

 

Not much later, it's Brian Mullan, according to MLSnet. He never could stay healthy for us.

 

Fire take UConn forward Damani Ralph.

 

LA takes Arturo Torres, F, Loyola Marmount (CA).

 

Bufflosoldier: do you have a direct brain T1 connection to Gazidis?

Thanks for the info!

 

Naw, just lucky enough to be in a chat room with someone in KC.

 

Tell the people in KC to hurry up this next pick, my wife's waiting for me.

 

LA takes Ricky Lewis, D, Clemson to end the 2nd round.

 

I still don't get the 17th pick. Metrostars site shows COlumbus making the pick.

 

From MLSnet:
MetroStars obtained the 17th overall pick from Columbus in exchange for PLAYER TBA and the MetroStars’ natural Second-Round pick in 2004.
