Dave, I’ve been looking everywhere for more info on this draft and I can’t even find what you’ve got. Do you have a source link I could borrow? (Of course I’ll link to you too.)

How does the waver draft work? Being put on wavers means that the team basically says we don’t want you anymore; at least at your current price. Than other teams are given the opportunity to pick up a waived player if they want to. Traditionally there have been somewhere in the range of zero to five players picked up total. This year pretty much all the teams have gotten rid of fringe players who are unlikely to get picked up. The intersting list to me is Chivas, why are they busting that team up?

P.S. I really hope all my boys get picked up, but especially Kyle Veris.

Ack! How did I miss this? I’ll be linking to you from the main page later today. Although I may wait till after the actual draft. Is that 3:00 Eastern?

I think Kipre would be a good pick up. He is a young defender that cracked the starting lineup for RSL…that does not say much but for cheap defensive back up I think he would be a pretty nice pick up.

Veris is another one. Capable back up defenders are hard to find in MLS and I think Veris is one of those.

Nunez could be good…but he hasnt been good for a while. Last year he was ok but he cannot be the centerpiece of offensive movement. Maybe he could play left wing though?

Ramon Nunez, Orlando Perez, Kyle Veris, Chris Brown, Miguel Canizalez, & Srdjan Djekanovic interest me.

Dave, do you know how this waiver draft works? Because I don’t.
