I'm beginning to see the hype about this kid. 23, and he's starting to really make that AM spot his own. Love the fact that he's not afraid to shoot.

Would love to see a little more consistency and better passing, but I see why Atlas wanted him.

He is looking good. Great work rate too, keeps running and doesn't give up on a single play.

I noticed his comfort on the ball and passing with Plata, Frings JDG, we need a AM who counterbalances our slower DM, he just may be the find of the season.

He was in the MLS all star game. That's how he's doing.

Labrocca is having a once-in-a-career season.

Apart from goals and assists there is nothing unique statistically about his year. Same games, minutes etc. What is significant is that he is enjoying a ridiculous 35% goal rate on his shots taken.

For his career he has a 14% goal rate for shots taken, and he actually has fewer assists this season over last.

Nick Labrocca will not score 7 goals next year, nor will he be an All-star again.

Avila is a tidy player. Much more upside, and a better fit than Santos. A good trade.
