17The Gulf Between MLS SuperDraft and Supplemental Draft
Posted By: Terry on February 17, 2012 at 9:00 amOnce young aspiring players are drafted from the MLS SuperDraft and
Supplemental Draft into the Professional MLS teams, it is not the end but the
beginning of an all-out war to battle it out in pre-season training and matches.
A typical MLS First Team Roster is made up of 30 players, who have received the
offer to sign professional contracts with the MLS Team. Let us have a closer look
at the 2012 Draft Picks of LA Galaxy.
7 players were drafted into LA Galaxy for the Season 2012, with the MLS Rights
of the players belonging to LA Galaxy as well. The players are Bill Gaudette,
Bryan Gaul, Stephen Posa, Justin Davies, Rafael Garcia, Yuri Gorentzvaig,
Tommy Meyer and Kenney Walker. 2 of the 7 has been released by LA Galaxy,
Midfielder Stephen Posa and Brazilian Yuri Gorentzvaig. (I felt it was a pity that
LA Galaxy released this talented young Brazilian, but I guess the Foreign Player
slots has been used up with the return of fellow Brazilians, Juninho and
Leonardo.)
In most cases, the MLS SuperDraft picks will be safe from the axe. In a quick recap,
LA Galaxy picked up Defender Tommy Meyer and Midfielder Kenney Walker in
2012. Both have received good reviews from Head Coach Bruce Arena himself, and
will also be featured in his future plans.
I am expecting 1 more player to be cut from the current LA Galaxy team roster.
It could be one of the older fringe players, or the one of the new wannabe Draftees
of 2012. Wild Guesses, anyone?
