Team strike rate leaders (part 2 of 3)



See yesterday's post for an explanation.


METROSTARS



Rate
Goals
1 Clint Mathis 0.48 39
2 Antony De Avila 0.46 17
3 Giovanni Savarese 0.46 44
4 Rodrigo Faria 0.45 25
5 Adolfo Valencia 0.45 29
6 Amado Guevara 0.35 30
7 Alex Comas 0.34 16
8 Eduardo Hurtado 0.31 19
9 John Wolyniec 0.26 20
10 Eddie Gaven 0.20 16

There are no ties here, I just only show 2 decimal places. Mathis dropped off after the injury in 2001, but remains on top here. The Metros have a lot of guys who were brilliant for a short time, like Valencia. They haven't had a forward who has been solid for a more than a year or two, though, except for Savarese. That was part of the problem for them this year as well.


NEW ENGLAND



Rate Goals
1 Taylor Twellman 0.60 70
2 Raul Diaz Arce 0.56 18
3 Joe-Max Moore 0.42 43
4 Pat Noonan 0.37 34
5 Clint Dempsey 0.31 18
6 Wolde Harris 0.28 30
7 Imad Baba 0.21 23
8 Steve Ralston 0.17 21
9 Ted Chronopoulos 0.10 16

Twellman has been simply awesome since he joined the league. Moore would be slightly higher if he hadn't come back. Interesting but useless fact: Moore's first go around in NE was virtually the same strike rate as Mathis in NY: 39 goals/80 games vs 39 goals/81 games. They also had exactly 79 starts apiece.


MIAMI



Rate Goals
1 Alex Pineda Chacon 0.63 20
2 Diego Serna 0.51 59
3 Welton 0.35 18

Chacon had the one great year, but Serna is more noteworthy. Four years of great production.


TAMPA BAY



Rate Goals
1 Mamadou Diallo 0.71 39
2 Roy Lassiter 0.63 44
3 Musa Shannon 0.40 22
4 Steve Ralston 0.18 35

I miss Big Mama, even though he was a huge jackass. Villains are fun, especially when they are talented. Ralston scores at virtually the exact same rate as in New England.
