can't remember who i voted for last time, but i have to go with marshall this time around. Adu is JUST starting to play at a high level. Gros and Parke are in the same boat in my book .......... both very good rookies, but both slightly overrated by the the American soccer world. That leaves Marshall and Dempsey. Both with a lot to offer, but Dempsey has been hurt for a while, and based on that, I am gonna go with the guy who doesn't look like he's going to miss a full 2 months of the season. With that being said, I would have voted for Dempsey if he had not gotten hurt and had continued to play like he was playing during that time period.
jeff parke... sure the other guys have some decent stats, but jeff has played exceptionally well for being the last pick in the draft. Sure the Metros defense is poor, but it'd be much worse without Jeff Parke.
