Congrats to Ryan and Ben Ryan nominated for Defender of the Year. Ben up for Comeback Player of the Year. http://www.mlsnet.com/special/mlscup/2003/mlscup1110awards.html
Ryan has a shot at defender, but Spencer is going to win comeback player. He's also nominated for MVP so he has to win.
Well, that Armas kid in Chicago had a decent year after his ACL blowout left him stateside last World Cup......
If Ben has an "advantage" it's that he was out for a longer period of time than Spencer and Armas combined.
