The regular season is over, and that means that it's time to hand out some awards for the season.
For the Wizards, Down the Byline will be handing out awards for Rookie of the Year, Defender of the
Year, Goal of the Year, and MVP. So let's get to it.
Rookie of the Year
Michael Harrington
Really it came down to two players, Kurt Morsink, and Harrington.
Eddie Johnson was named the MLS Comeback player of the year today by the league. Johnson won the
award after piling up career highs in both goals (15), and assists (6) and leading the league in
game winning goals (6). The article says that Johnson won the award after a 2006 season full of
national team call ups and suspensions. While his comeback is nice (he had only 2 goals in 2006), I
would think a comeback player of the year would need to comeback from some kind of injury, not an
incredibly poor season.
A day after I released the Down the Byline End of the Year Awards, the Wizards released their End
of the Year awards in the post season media guide that is online.
Honda MVP - Eddie Johnson
Budweiser Golden Boot - Eddie Johnson
US Soccer Foundation Humanitarian of the Year - Jose Burciaga Jr.
Defender of the Year - Jimmy Conrad
Kansas City Wizards Heart Award - Davy Arnaud
Rookie of the Year - Michael Harrington
Kansas City Wizards Reserve Team Player of the Year - Ryan Pore
I can't argue with any of the choices in these awards.
