We are moving forward today in our expansion draft coverage. So far we've knocked out both the
Fire and Chivas USA, today we stay out west with a look at the Colorado Rapids. Now this is a club
that may go through a bit of a change this winter because of their collapse late in the season.
Jordan Harvey rarely got in the headlines in ColoradoSoccerNow.com in 2009. He went about his
business as an outside back on a nightly basis with a steady professionalism, a burst of offense
forward, a solid serve from the left side and rarely a misstep back. He didn't perform the flashy
bits, but he did record a career-high three assists.
The Philadelphia Union will draft ten current MLS players on Wednesday. The following is the list
of protected players by team: Chivas USA Bornstein, Jonathan Braun, Justin Flores, Jorge Padilla,
Jesus Galindo, Maykel Lahoud, Michael Kljestan, Sacha Nagamura, Paulo Thornton, Zach Cuesta, Yamith
Santos, Maicon Chicago Fire Busch, Jon Conde, Wilman Brown, C.
Yeah, I know I said I'd post this last week. I'll live up to my promises once I get paid for them.
;)
We're a month past the end of the Rapids season, 2 days past the end of the MLS season. Seems like
a good time to review how we did.
Goalkeeping: Matt Pickens was a solid yet unspectacular starter in goal for Colorado.
