By definition the Convey award goes to the team's Rookie of the Year. But there's a couple of
different ways you could interpret that. Do you give the award to the young player who has made the
biggest contribution so far this season? Or do you give it to the guy who has the best chance of
being a star in the MLS?
By definition, the Donnety award goes to the player who has been the biggest disappointment this
year. Yes, harsh, I know. But this award's definition could probably be interpreted in a couple
different ways. And because I love controversy, of course I will leave that interpretation up to
you. Do you give the award to a guy who has played well at times, but hasn't lived up to the hype
or to his high salary?
By definition, the Nelly Award goes to the player who is new to the team this year and has made the
most significant positive impact. The award's namesake Ryan Nelsen emerged as a star defender in
the MLS shortly after joining the team, and served as United's captain during the 2004 championship
run.
By definition, the Richie Award goes to the hardest working, most underrated player on the United
roster. The award's namesake Richie Williams is probably most famous for his diminutive stature,
but he is second most famous for his work rate. The dude just went nonstop, constantly interrupting
plays for the opposing team.
