10,000 Minute Club

Going through and updating the stats again in the offseason. It's gonna be a quick one with how late KC's 2013 season ended. To start us off, here's the updated 10,000 minute club.

In 2013, two players joined the 10,000 minute club in league play. Both Matt Besler and Jimmy Nielsen joined the club this year. Jimmy Nielsen ends his MLS career 11th on the list for KC with 11,497 minutes played for KC, less than a full game behind 10th place Matt McKeon on the list. Matt Besler was passed during the season by Nielsen because of Besler's time with the US national team, but Besler still ended up finishing 14th on the list with 10,971. As for who could join the list in 2014, Chance Myers and Graham Zusi are both a little under 1,500 minutes from joining the list. Even with the World Cup Zusi should make the list this year. Both Seth Sinovic and Aurelien Collin have outside chances to make the list, but both would have to play virtually every league minute to make the list.

1. Kerry Zavagnin - 20,516
2. Nick Garcia - 20,158

4. Jimmy Conrad - 18,194

12. Josh Wolff - 11,467
13. Tony Meola - 11,331
14. Matt Besler - 10,971

In all competitions, Sporting had three players join the 10,000 minute club. Nielsen made his way onto the list very early in the season finishing his career with 12,847 in all competitions. Meanwhile Myers (10,509) and Zusi (10,435) both made the list this season as well but not until late. As for next season, both Sinovic and Collin should make the list as both are right around 1,000 minutes away from landing on the list. With just over 2,500 minutes next season (which he's done in two of his three seasons) CJ Sapong could also join the list for KC.
