I've decided to enter the awards business (no real award given) and we'll start off with the Young Player of the Year. Since definitions matter I'll go with any Sounder player who would have met the U-23 age qualification as if this was on Olympic year, so no Fredy Montero. The full list is David Estrada, Miguel Montano, Sanna Nyassi, Mike Seamon and Steve Zakuani.
I'd love to see in the comments who would come in second based on their play in all competitions in 2010.
