R Predictions for probable Round 1 Selections

[Sullivan]

Looking ahead to tomorrrow we've put together a list of players likely to be selected in Round 1.

We've identified these 18 players as being, in our opinion, the best 18 players available.

This is not a mock draft, the 18 players are listed alphabetically.
We don't know what other clubs' situations are, i.e. positional needs, international spot options or salary cap situations.

* = The player, in our opinion, is MLS ready.
(GA) = Gen adidas, salary is cap free.

Anthony Ampaipatakwong*
Jalil Anibaba*
Will Bruin* (GA)
Victor Estupiñán*
Michael Farfan
Corey Hertzog (GA)
Greg King
Perry Kitchen* (GA)
Zac MacMath (GA)
Steven McCarty
Justin Meram
Darlington Nagbe* (GA)
Omar Salgado (GA)
Kofi Sarkodie* (GA)
AJ Soares
Michael Tetteh (GA)
Zarek Valentin (GA)
Bobby Warsaw

Probable 2nd Round Selections
Michael Boxall - Cole Grossman - Jason Herrick - Levi Houapeu
Daniel Keat - Ryan Kinnie - Chris Korb - Ashley McInnes - JT Murray
Michael Nanchoff (GA) - Steven Perry - Joao Plata - John Rooney - CJ Sapong

BTW, we're taking a pass on Baltimore and sticking it out here in Orlando (it's supposed to warm up tomorrow) and get some more golf in.

So the $5 question is: who would TFC like / would be interested in enough to move up and take?

What does TFC have to offer? or What would it cost the club to move up?

- Package picks 26, 43 & 44
- Allocation $
- Gargan, ... Gomez, ... Harden, ... LaBrocca, ... Peterson, ???
- 2012 picks

There's a rumour that RSL has cap issues; offer a partial allocation for the 14th pick - puts the club in the Warsaw / Meram / King zone.

Go back to Vancouver for the 8th?

I suggested it elsewhere, but I'd like to see the club do a package of picks in exchange for the highest pick they can get and then they select the player who they deem to be the best available player to fit Winter's system.


quick comment for the mods,
sorry for parking this thread in this section, I ment to put it in with the news.
