2011 DRAFT: Finding Middle Round Success

What seperates a good BSL club from a great BSL club? What is the difference between a BSL club that is a playoff contender and a club that battles for the Honors Trophy and is a season long favorite to win the BSL Cup and Majors Cup? The answer is team depth. Having a good group of scorers on the top of your lineup will get you wins. But, having a good group at the bottom of the starting lineup will squeek out close victories in matches that a clubs high profile players may perhaps struggle.

Every BSL owner will have a different opinion on which group of players best fit this need. Only time will tell who's middle round draft picks will prove to be the best choices. Lets take a look at some of the players drafted in Round 5 for example. Dane Richards (CD Gunners) at #47 could be a steal with the talent he will be playing with. Marco Perovic (Gold Coast) has moments where he looks great. Can he put it all together in 2011? Espindola (Burud Town) could be a real steal at #49 because he is more than capable of scoring goals in stretch runs. Padilla (Union SC) was once regarded as the guy who would get Chivas USA into the playoffs. If he ever lives up to those expectations he would be a huge pick up at #50.
