As the MLL draft inches nearer, we will begin to take a look at the top prospects in each position, and where they might end up. Today we take a look at the attackers. Peter Baum, Colgate Baum, Manny and Sawyer all could be top three picks. Any one of them, but Baum is projected as the top overall pick to Ohio according to our MLL expert Phil Shore. Baum…
We’re two weeks away from the 2013 MLL Collegiate Draft. Like most pro sports it’s always intriguing to see which college stars will be selected to play at the next level and what kind of fit they will be with their new team. Mock drafts are always tough. The human element of the front offices mean there could be plenty of surprises, such as trades and sleeper picks. But here…
It was not an easy year for the Nationals, going from runners-up for the championship to runners-up for the worst record in the league. Still, there is quite a bit of talent on this team. They had six All-Stars last season and, when clicking, their offense can score with anyone. With the second overall pick in the draft they are in a good position to pick an immediate impact player…
The Supplemental Draft doesn’t (always) net a team the biggest names in MLL, but it’s a nice place to add depth to a team. Given the right opportunity, a player who may not have had a chance with another squad could really flourish with his new team. Some names that were scooped up in last year’s draft were Chazz Woodson, MLL Defender of the Year Lee Zink, Ari Sussman and…

The MLL Supplemental Draft has come and gone, and teams now have a lot more players to add to their 40 man rosters. We take a look at what some of the teams did, and who came out on top. Rochester Rattlers- B The Rattlers get a solid B here, and if there was more certainty, maybe an A. The Mark Millon pick first overall is rather confusing, even though…
Imagine being a Major League Baseball fan, and you just heard that Jeff Bagwell was coming back to play. What would your first reaction be? That’s probably similar to how we feel about Mark Millon being drafted to the Rochester Rattlers yesterday. Millon is one of the greatest lacrosse players ever, in both Major League Lacrosse and the National Lacrosse League. He hasn’t played any pro lax since 2007, so…
