since jason kreis is suppossed to be back in shape and only 2 goals from lassiter's record, i was bored and decided to look up who else might be in the running. i discovered something i found interesting: it took lassiter 13,769 minutes over 7 seasons to score his 88 goals. (avg 1 goal/156 minutes or so) it's taken kreis 18,587 minutes and 8 seasons for 86 goals. (avg 1 goal/216 minutes or so) but if you look a bit further down the list you come across some interesting numbers. stern john is 20th with 44 goals, but he scored all of those in only 4,463 minutes in 2 seasons. thats a goal every 101 minutes! now carlos ruiz is currently tied with john @ 44 goals on 5,157 minutes (that includes his 5 goals and his minutes this season). that on every 117 minutes! these two guys are scoring machines! another thing that is cool is how close ruiz and john's stats are right now: both have 44 goals, both in 2 seasons (plus a few games for ruiz), both with 51 games started, both with one goal/game in play-offs. i know, i know, i need to get a job or something ... in case you care, here's the top 30: 1 Roy Lassiter 88 2 Jason Kreis 86 3 Raul Diaz Arce 82 4 Preki 77 5 Ante Razov 74 6 Jaime Moreno 72 7 Ronald Cerritos 64 8 Brian McBride 62 9 Cobi Jones 59 10 Diego Serna 57 11 Jeff Cunningham 53 12 Paul Bravo 52 Dante Washington 52 14 Mark Chung 51 Giovanni Savarese 51 16 Wolde Harris 50 17 Clint Mathis 48 18 Mamadou Diallo 47 Eduardo Hurtado 47 20 Ariel Graziani 44 Stern John 44 Carlos Ruiz 44 23 Chris Henderson 43 Welton Melo 43 Steve Ralston 43 26 Joe-Max Moore 41 27 Taylor Twellman 39 28 Mauricio Cienfuegos 35 Josh Wolff 35 30 Marco Etcheverry 34 John Spencer 34 Eric Wynalda 34
Are the stats for the active players up to date through last weekend's games or are they through the end of last year?
