Armchair Analyst: Waiting for Diego Fagundez's star to rise again

Heading into the 2013 season, New England Revolution fans were most excited by the presence and potential growth of then-18 year old Homegrown attacker Diego Fagundez. In 2012 he'd appeared 20 times, playing 770 minutes while notching two goals and two assists.

Fagundez was small and smart and quick and not flashy, and that proved to be the perfect combo since he blew away all expectations that season by notching 13 goals (most ever by a teenager in MLS) and seven assists. He was almost never the dominant player on the field, but displayed a Chris Wondolowski-esque ability to find the right spots in the box and convert with a single touch.
