Asif Hossain will check in every few hours from Baltimore with stories and short informal videos surrounding the 2011 MLS SuperDraft, set to take place Thursday at noon, live on GOL TV Canada and on TorontoFC.ca.

SuperDraft SuperBlog - Thursday, January 13.
10:30 a.m. - Expecting Trades

The word out of the digital meeting this morning is that trades are expected today before, during and after the SuperDraft.

This adds to the rumblings in the hotel lobby about Vancouver receiving potentially three trade offers for the first overall pick. I mentioned in yesterday's blog entry that Vancouver President Bob Lenarduzzi looked to be having some intense phone discussions and perhaps something is in the works.

Toronto has confirmed that it plans to use its three draft picks - at least for the moment.

:30 a.m. - The Morning Of

It's draft day!

Regardless of the fact that Toronto doesn't have a first round pick at present, there is plenty of excitement ahead in the next few hours leading to the 2011 MLS SuperDraft at Noon (live on GOL TV Canada).

Paul Mariner believes he sees some potential deep in the draft (http://www.torontofc.ca/news/2011/01/mariner-sees-potential) for Toronto, while it's still to be seen if Vancouver selects Darlington Nagbe first overall, and more importantly, keeps him to play in a Whitecaps shirt. It was speculated this week that Nagbe may not want to play for Vancouver, but it's not quite the shades of Steve Francis circa 1999 NBA draft. Nagbe - an Ohio native - wants to be close to home for personal reasons.

But so far Whitecaps management has shafted there strongest fans and are proving they are in it for more money rather then a love of the game.... /rant more later for now superdraft.

I disliked Barrett (still wanted him to go)

but i dislike this trade even more...


im fed up with paying salaries that bite us in the butt,

furthermore trading away a need, when there is no evident/impending replacement ready....

At least get a pick/body in return....

This is true. I'm not blowing my stream until I see who they will bring in. For all we know, they could be freeing cap space for some big signings. As said above, I mean, I like Barrett, hardworker, scores the occasional goal and all that, but if someone with greater pedigree is brought in, then I'll be a happy man.

Matt Gold had an unimpressive combine. Big Fucking Deal.

You would not be surprised how little the combine matters. In fact, if anyone makes their decisions based on the combine, they're very misguided. Look at how a player performed over their college career, not at how they performed over a week long camp.

Every player has their highs and lows. Judge the players by the overall trend. Not the fucking MLS combine.

I guess my point is, the best indicator of talent is statistics and history of the player. Having one combine determines nothing.

It's the overall trend of a player.

Again, why are you making judgement on a 1 week period. Plata could have performed exceptionally well compared to his normal talents at that combine. We may have just drafted the worst player ever to play for TFC and we're cheering it on like he's the next Messi.

Just because you perform well at a combine, does not mean you're good by any means.

My hate is not of this guy.

My hate is of the overrating of players based on one off events.

Use the stats and history of a player to determine his upside, not of what you dream he could turn into.

BUT by the sounds of it - we acquired him for one of preki's guys....

I mean, even if he doesn't pan out - and he very well might not - you rid yourself of an old mistake,

WHILE covering your ass:

The guys we took prior at 43, and 44 were "suprise" picks - who looked like crap at combine,

so they deal away salary + and unwanted body, and get a guy who looked amazing at combine,

essentially, we took good combine showing + bad combine showing - rather than backing on one or the other

Peterson, god bless him, is just not the type of player we need at TFC any more, he's not comfortable on the ball, which to me, is a minimum requirement for a professional soccer player.

I'm super glad we took Plata, TFCregina talked about using stats and historical analysis to make judgements, which i think is spot on, but with this player there was only video and a combine performance to make a decision on. I think that's just fine by me.

Jason and Simon are talking about our picks as possession, attacking picks.

Pachuco
01-13-2011, 04:10 PM

Ok, let me put it to you guys this way. I think a trade for Peterson would make sense if it was for allocation money. I'm really not sure any 49th draft pick has every signed with an MLS team. Maybe they have, but taking that chance seems retarded when he must be worth some type of allocation money to some team out there. Even 10 bucks is worth more then the 49th pick.

JonO
01-13-2011, 04:10 PM
There is no indication it is Peterson who was traded. Trades for 3rd round draft picks aren't usually starters (or even reliable bench players). Hell we got Sturgis for a 1st rounder. Anyway, PLata apparently has quite the upside - most teams appear to have been scared away by his height. The dude is tiny...

I hate people who try and talk about size...

Messi,

heck even Cunny if you want a MLS example (although whenever Cunny slumped it was due to motivation: lack thereof, not size)

Physical traits mean nothing - motivation means all

jesus christ your like a motivational poster.
So judging by your great scouting network, we have signed the next Messi.
HUZZAH!
THE NEXT MESSI!!!!
YOU HEAR THAT GUYS!
DUDES GONNA SCORE 20+ GOALS CUZ HES DETERMINED!

Funny you mention Messi, who is 5 inches taller then Plata :rolleyes:. Just saying.

Actually looks like he's 6 inches taller :)

Messi has half a foot on this guy. Not saying he won't do well - that is never a guarantee, but he's not just short. He's really really short... I have no problem giving him a chance.

BTW - I am still slightly shocked at the Bruin pick - Dynamo got him for peanuts IMO - and i'd love to have seen TFC make that move for him,

Two guys with big upsides slide,

Bruin - was the experts opinions to be a more solid/sure pick,
Plata - was the bigger wildcard (height + international roster spot)

We got one, but I'd like to see how these two develop over the next 2 yrs

There is no indication it is Peterson who was traded. Trades for 3rd round draft picks aren't usually starters (or even reliable bench players). Hell we got Sturgis for a 1st rounder. Anyway, PLata apparently has quite the upside - most teams appear to have been scared away by his height. The dude is tiny...

If it's a salary dump like some people guess, then who the heck else could it be?

I agree though, Peterson is not worth a 49th pick. That's just silly. 49th picks are worth 1 pubic hair.

We made 4 picks today, which supplemented a squad that has yet to see it's true face shine through.

This draft was never about making Toronto good. This years picks weren't very good for any team, the entire generation is lacking to be honest.

But, Aron Winter has made moves which he will now need to justify with transfers of his own. This means European players coming in, which I'm sure he has on the books as we speak.

Chad Barrett, I shall miss your dedication and loyalty to the badge. Best of luck in Los Angeles. The player who replaced you, I hope, will show just as much heart and passion for Toronto FC.

Whoever has left for Plata's pick has yet to be determined. Plata is a variable right now. The only way we can know for sure if he's good is when we see him play.

I can understand the Barrett thing because of his salary. But seriously, how much does Peterson make? isn't it something like 100K?

BTW - Peterson is just about the only one I could guess we traded. I'd laugh if it's anybody else.

Peterson's guaranteed compensation was $143,000 for 2010.

He is worth about half that at most.

Fuck him, hope he's gone.

Only Labrocca would fit that mold.

Yikes, Labrocca for a 49th pick in a weak draft? I would have to say that's the first move I wouldn't support by Winter. I'd be allowed to not support atleast 1 or 2 moves before the season starts :)

I'm guessing it's Labrocca that got traded

We can't discount the fact that the trade could have been made with allocation money, no?

About Plata (from his Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joao_Plata):


At the conclusion of the 2010 season in order to continue his development Plata was loaned to Major League Soccer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer) and was selected by Toronto FC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_FC) in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_MLS_SuperDraft).[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joao_Plata#cite_note-6)

So Plata is on loan to TFC pretty much. So much for second coming of Messi.

Tweets indicate Ty Harden and Gomez might also be the player traded.

poppamidnight
01-13-2011, 04:28 PM
Harden, Labrocca, or Peterson = my hopes....

Plata is only 1 yr younger than Henry + Lindsay btw... (IMO the Plata move was a reactionary one to the Lindsay injury - I think they want to develop a forward, and not have all vets there...)


The draft makes me confused with our INT spots now -

What's the latest on Gomez? (i'm assuming he'll be gone soon - clearing up 1 spot)
Kocic???
Frei -Is this the year we cash in on a Frei transfer??? Winter might like that $$$ influx

Omph will count as a American, but what about Burgos??? an INT slot for him (if he makes it)?

5 foot, 3 inches on Joao Plata, might be a good thing if he has a cannon for a shot. He would be hard to mark.

So we have 3 Latin Americans picked up in the Draft. Interesting. An Ecuadorian, a Panamanian and a Salvadorian.
