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.
