| MVP: Amado Guevara, MetroStars |
| Ten goals and ten assists. Metro are total junk when he is missing. |
|
| |
| Best Player: Carlos Ruiz, Los Angeles Galaxy |
| When he wants to play he is ruthless… clinical, deadly, and one tough SOB… If he shows up. |
|
| |
| Best Defender: Robin Fraser, Columbus Crew |
| 32 goals allowed ties for 2nd best in MLS and Fraser does it with a 3 man back line and a bunch of rookies. His leadership was a key to the CBus run and was the reason why Dallas tried to land him before 04. |
|
| |
| Best Goaltender: Joe Cannon, Colorado Rapids |
| No question on this one. 1.07 GAA, 10 shutouts, and almost double the saves of Meola. The biggest lock for an award this year. |
|
| |
| Rookie of the Year: Clint Dempsey, New England Revolution |
| What a player, can a guy this crucial for his team really be a rookie? Even a midseason injury did little to slow him down. |
|
| |
| Best Mid Season pick up: Tony Sanneh, Columbus Crew |
| Columbus was just a mid table club till Sanneh came in and took over the locker room and team. |
|
| |
| Trade of the Year: Jamie Morenoto DC United for Conditional Pick to MetroStars. |
| 7 goals and 14 assists for Moreno. DS picked him up for a conditional pick which became a 1st rounder for Metro. Any team in MLS would do anything for that kind of production out of a 1st rounder. With their forward problems you think Metro wouldn’t want that kind of production? |
|
| |
| Pack Your Bags Award: Carlos Ruiz, MetroStars |
| Missing flights, not returning to the team, not getting along with teammates, and just an overall bad attitude. Will Sampson put up with a guy he did not bring in? Coaches like to make their team… well… “their team.” |
