My Superdraft 2009 preview post has been blatantly ripped off by WVhooligan and its author, Drew Epperley. I also discovered did the exact same thing one month ago when I previously updated it, and also last year for my 2008 preview. And it turns out that I'm not the only site he's been ripping off. Just look:

Its been a long while since I updated this projected order, mainly because I knew there would be a slew of trades that would come down to shake up this order.

The Galaxy has always had a history of former players doing damage in the league. Before, I couldn't figure out if it was bad scouting that led to the release of so many players that did well elsewhere or perhaps just the natural consequence of trades, or maybe just roster limitations that did not allow the Galaxy to keep all of their players.

We all know of Canadian striker Will Johnson and his return to Major League Soccer. But the biggest question would be, where would he end up?

Reds Release Robert, Ruiz Coming Soon?

3

Sounds to me like Toronto FC is in the Carlos Ruiz sweepstakes after all here. Today they announced the release of midfielder Laurent Robert. Robert started in 16 of 17 games scoring one goal and adding three assists. Kinda of a surprise release to me. I'm not sure if it was a personal kind of decision on [. Click to continue reading...

The Los Angeles Galaxy needs money. No, not actual cash (they have sold enough David Beckham jerseys not to need actual cash). What LA needs is allocation money and salary cap space (despite what the Bottomless Galaxy Salary Cap jokes suggest).

What a mess huh? Most of you know my position about Alexi Lalas. Solid player in his prime, terrible in suit in the front office.
