The Portland Timbers have acquired midfielder/defender Jeremy Hall from the New York Red Bulls in exchange for a 2011 third round draft pick, the expansion club announced Monday. “Jeremy is a versatile, young footballer who has a tremendous upside,” Timbers technical director Gavin Wilkinson said in a statement. Hall, a University of Maryland product, was a first round pick in the 2009 SuperDraft (11th overall). He made an immediate impact in his rookie year, starting in 22 games and tallying an assist http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/portland-acquire-jeremy-hall-new-york
Good move by Portland. Red Bulls weren't going to protect him and Vancouver probably would have taken him first.
