So our editor Eli Hoff posted a controversial tweet on our account a couple nights back. You probably read it, the one ranking the strikers and putting Christian Ramirez bottom of the list?
I thought it was some good-natured trolling at first. Then I checked our Slack channel and learned that he planned on writing an article based around it. Once my eyes stopped rolling, I decided to see if there was a good argument to be made for a player with 18 goals in 51 MLS appearances to be worse than a player whose highlight reel shows skill at penalties, a high draft pick with eight shots and no goals, and a top draft pick who is hamstrung with accusations from senior team members that he’s unwilling to put in the effort required to stay healthy.
