However, I'm not trying to guess what the teams are going to do. Instead, I'm trying to assess what the teams should do. So, my assessment is that Phalen in the long term is not a "slam dunk" to be successful, because of his speed. Fun part of this is in a couple of years if he's a consistent MLS starter, come back and call me an idiot! lol. tomorrow ought to be a lot of fun.

I would bet a big one that he's in the 1st round and tempted to bet on top half of round 1.
