Since we’re in the doldrums of the MLS All-Star game PRESENTED BY AT&T (TM), I thought it would be fun to take a few minutes to look at Diego Valeri. Well, beyond his great hair and aww-shucks winning smile that we all love.
With some great performances for the Timbers over the last few weeks there’s been this bit of an underground consensus brewing that Valeri is deserving of league MVP. Our own Chris Rifer has fired out his tweet take, Alicia Rodriguez said “he was quietly building the case”, Jason Davis at ESPN makes note that he deserves MVP Buzz, and to give things an international flair, Valeri made Univision’s list of MVP candidates for what it’s worth.
