Rolando 'Rolandinho' Bianchi 2007-08-14 11:20:00 Rolando Bianchi is one of the latest hot prospects to come out of Italy, He is widely considered as one of the brightest promises of Italian football.Bianchi is technically very strong, with high stats in ‘heading’, ‘first touch’, and ‘positioning’, his physical attributes aren’t too bad either and during preseason his stats usually stay at a reasonable level, and once back in training they shoot back up, to leave him in perfect stead, for a rigorous season, trying to keep Reggina in Serie A.His ability has been attested to recently by his high-profile move to newly taken-over Man City.Bianchi scored on his debut for City.

Players who's going to impact the NFL 2007-08-10 17:23:00 The NFL draft is one of the most exciting times of the season for us NFL geeks. As the pre-season begins, it is time to discuss how these drafted players are going to impact
the league. Each year, there is a player or two that stands out and really has an impact. Some of these players were expected to have a big influence, e.g., Reggie Bush, and some come out of nowhere, e.g. Marques Colston. This year should be no different; although I am not going to try and guess which seventh-round pick may have a positive effect on his team, I will mention some guys that could be this year’s high-impact offensive rookies. Some you know, and some you will get to know really soon: * Marshawn Lynch - With the departure of Willis McGahee, Marshawn Lynch should step right in as the starting running back for the Buffalo Bills. Lynch is a good inside runner who can burst through the initial hole. He also has the ability to get to the corner and eat up yardage on outside runs. The thing that makes Lyn Read more:Players
Acie Law, Strengths and Weaknesses 2007-08-06 16:20:00 Acie Law is the Atlanta Hawks point guard rookie. In his four seasons at Texas A&M University, Law scored 1,653 points and was credited with 540 assists. Nicknamed "Captain Clutch" for his ability to take over the game late.Strengths:Law’s mental game may be his greatest asset, as he possesses all those intangible qualities that great point guards enjoy. He makes his teammates better, understands spacing and passing lanes, and uses his body and feet well to finish around the rim.Law has developed an unbelievable reputation as a “clutch” performer, beginning with his game-winner against Texas. In his senior season, he hit a three-pointer to beat Kansas in Lawrence, and two simply unbelievable three point shots in a double-overtime loss to Texas (both threes extended the game an extra period). Law’s unafraid of the big shot, and seems to thrive when there’s a lot at stake.Weaknesses:Law needs to improve his consistency from the outside as a shooter to take a big step forward in

who’s Dustin Pedroia? 2007-08-21 08:58:00 Dustin Luis Pedroia currently play for the Boston Red Sox in Major League Baseball.Dustin Pedroia became the regular second baseman for the Red Sox in 2007. He has been known to be solid defensively. Pedroia's track record throughout his college and minor league career suggested continued success in the major leagues. However, early in the season, his batting average had fallen as low as .172. Such an average along with the great hitting of fellow teammate Alex Cora (who even batted above .400 at a point), had left Pedroia in a platoon role early in this season.However, Pedroia has since picked up his batting average. On May 1st, his average was at a season-low .172, but Pedroia had raised his average to .322 by June 18th, aided by a 13-game hitting streak and a five-hit game against the San Francisco Giants on June 15, 2007. Due to his production, he was named American League Player of the Week for May 28-June 3, and American League Rookie of the Month for May. So that no reason to t Read more:Dustin

MLS Rookie of the Year Candidates 2007-08-19 16:53:00 Adam Cristman, New England Revolution - Here is a guy that should get more votes and looks than he will get. He has played wonderfully so far this season I think. Stepping in for Taylor Twellman when he was gone with the national team for a few games. Four goals and four assists have made Cristman a fairly strong candidate for Rookie
of the Year this season. This forth round pick has given prof that New England is still one of the best clubs at drafting young talent.Maurice Edu, Toronto FC - I am beginning to think that Edu may be the best player on Toronto’s roster right now. The number one pick in the draft is showing us why more and more with his play. Thee goals and one assists in 17 games for Edu. He has become one of the league’s better defensive midfielders too. I think his chances of winning the Rookie of the Year award are fairly good as long as he keeps playing the way that he does. He doesn’t have to lead Toronto into the playoffs to win this award either I think.Robbi Read more:Candidates
