In what may be the riskiest move yet in the BSL 2010 draft, St. Louis Cure used their number 5 pick to select St. Louis native Taylor Twellman. Twellman is a former MLS MVP and is the youngest player to hit the 100 goal plateau, but serious injuries have jeopardized his career and limited him to only 2 games in 2009. GM/Coach Lodes, "It's certainly scary to use a pick on Twellman, with his injury status unclear. But with a player of his caliber, it was a move I had to make. I've been watching Taylor for years; I remember him starring as a high schooler in the State Championships. Maybe his return to St. Louis will cure him of the injury jinx." Prior to selecting Twellman, the Cure chose Brazilian Fred as its fourth pick. Lodes, "I'm a big Fred fan. I predict his teaming up with Peter Nowak is going to increase his point output significantly. He will be a key member of our midfield."
