Along with the recent departure of Nick Garcia, the news that Jose Burciaga Jr is going to
Colorado for more draft picks reveals signs that the Wizards will be looking to play a new
formation. The lineup will feature 1 defender (who needs more than Jimmy Conrad anyway?), 6 in
the midfield, and 3 strikers.
(* Assuming I botched the usage, could someone hep me to the proper term for all persons of
Mexican/Mexican-American/Central American descent?) Holy pre-SuperDraft trading, Batman! Between
the one player who we all thought would go (Carlos Ruiz to LA) and two that came out of left field
- Nick Garcia to San Jose for the [.
Nick Garcia is not the only player that looks to be on his way out of Kansas City. According to
Ives, Jose Burciaga Jr. is also on his way out of Kansas City. Apparently Burciaga will be heading
to Colorado for a draft pick. This pick likely won't another first rounder, more likely to be a 2nd
or 3rd rounder.
The Kansas City Wizards are looking to further rebuild their team beyond today's trade of Nick
Garcia to expansion San Jose Earthquakes for their 1st pick (1st overall in the draft). That gives
KC the 1st pick overall and the 11th overall picks in the draft. The conventional thinking is that
KC is positioning themselves to take promising striker Patrick Nyarko with their new pick.
The trade of Jose Burciaga Jr. to the Colorado Rapids was finalized today. Yesterday the terms of
the deal were unknown, but today we have learned that the Wizards have traded the left back for a
2nd round draft pick in next year's (2009) Super Draft. Burciaga is only a year removed from a Best
XI performance in 2006 where he had 8 goals and 8 assists, earning him the team's MVP award.
My apologies for overlooking the obvious and not mentioning that Soccer by Ives is reporting that
KC will be trading Burciaga to the Rapids for a draft pick. I should have mentioned it in the
previous post [link]. A draft pick, eh? Surely the Rapids wouldn't be so daft as to give up their
1st round pick, #5 overall, for Burciage.
Onto 2006.
