Oscar Echeverry Signed

By: Dave Martinez | March 27th, 2008

Osorio promise #1 of 2 Western Hemispherically Oriented signings?

Check.

Oscar Etchevarry is now a Red Bull. For reals.

The Atletico Nacional vet has been with the Bulls most of the preseason, which answers the question “When will our signings have time to gel with their teammates?” He is 31 years old, has played competitively with Nacional, winning three championships in the process, and has also been a winner with Venezuelan side Caracas FC and Colombian B-side Deportivo Pasto.

My question is - how will he be used? Will he be backing Angel and Altidore along with Wolyniec? Or will they get daring and try him at CAM? History shows he isn’s a scorching goal scorer - but one must wonder how much of a distributor he could be.

So, the wait begins for Western Hemisphere signing #2, and our European based prospect.

Osorio - making life interesting.

  Hi- a very off topic post.

  The three amigos (Martek, mr3d, and playtherapy) at the Nutmegged Blogspot http://nutmegging.blogspot.com/ have decided to host the 1st Invitational MFLS Fantasy League Bloggoff- using Mark Wheeler’s excellent MFLS system.

  This competition will be comprised of a fantasy league and a prediction league. Bragging rights for the whole kit and kaboodle will mean having the most points combined from both competitions. Each blog can only have one team- though decisions can be made by a collective (as we will do).

  1. Should you decide to join, go to http://www.mfls.com/, and create a team.
  Name the team after your Blog Site. When choosing players, printing off the spread sheet of players’ salaries and 2007 point totals is helpful.

  2. Then pick the Division “Blogger MFLS Invitational Champs”. The password for joining our division is- bloggy

  Email me if you have any trouble. playtherapy@hotmail.com

  Results will be published at the Nutmegged Blog site but feel free to write about the competition on your own site.

  We’d like to invite you and any other Offside MLS related bloggers. Laurie said she’d join but never registered prior to going overseas. We definitely need blogger participants.

  Cheers
  Jeff (playtherapy)

  I set up a login but then when I had to start buying players, I realized I’d really have to sit down and think this one through. Also, the SF Seals have their own Bay Area fantasy group. Ohhh I’m so conflicted!

  btw - so funny that a post on Kpene can possibly be more participated than a new signing. Amazing.
