VMP Final Countdown: Number 14 – Joe Bendik
Highest Ranking: 7 Lowest Ranking: 25 Average Ranking: 14.73 EDIT: All the below was written before the announcement that Bendik’s option wasn’t picked up. Not a surprise really, I imagine he’ll pass through the first round of the waiver draft unclaimed. After that he’s got a shot at getting a job somewhere for less. Best of luck to him. Mark: 7. Super Pickle. Joebergine. The goalie who took Frei’s job. ...
VMP Final Countdown: Number 16 – Herculez Gomez
Highest Ranking: 8 Lowest Ranking: 22 Average Ranking: 15.11 Mark: 12 When Toronto FC made some deals to be the first in line to sign Herculez Gomez, there were more than a few eyebrows raised.

Wasn’t terrible in his contributions, but wasn’t...
VMP Final Countdown. Number 25 – Clement Simonin
Highest Ranking: 13 Lowest Ranking: 27 Average ranking: 22.79 Mark: 20. Toronto almost unearthed a gem in this one. Simonin was a first round draft pick out of NC State, but thankfully earned a proper footballing pedigree at Lorient. Showed plenty of early promise as a defender, but injuries kept the rookie out of the game for the majority of the season, making only two appearances for TFC, and one for the lesser sequel of TFC II. ...
