TORONTO - Toronto FCs end-of-year wrap session Monday was much like the 6-17-11 season that preceded it, in many ways.It managed to highlight the good and bad of a complicated MLS club which always has a lot more than meets the eye going on under the surface. Over the years, Toronto FC has made progress like a drunken duck — heading on a peculiar path, its webbed feet flapping unseen below the water.The current braintrust insists that the team is now headed in the right direction. And that it has the majority of its players in place.Listening to Mondays parade of 16 players, followed by manager Ryan Nelsen and general manager Tim Bezbatchenko, was like watching a large family get-together.Some cant wait to leave. Most are happy to stay a little longer. And the hosts believe the party is only going to get better.I learned more probably in this year than I have in many years, to tell you the truth, Nelsen said of his first year as a manager.Its been a roller-coaster as well, we have some real ups and some real downs ... but I can tell you what, gee whiz, I can sleep good at night knowing were in the situation were in now.Nelsen had to fight fires — bush fires in his words — after taking over a team hamstrung by salary cap, contracts, debt — lots of it — (and) at the time, no real foundation of core MLS players.Put all that together and thats toxic, he added.A no-nonsense defender who made the most of his talents in pro soccer — he still has two homes in England and three in New Zealand — Nelsen proved to be a survivor in his first year at the helm. Former team president and GM Kevin Payne could not say the same, axed by new Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment CEO Tim Leiweke.Nelsen and Bezbatchenko were both upbeat Monday as they looked ahead rather than behind.Well have the majority of the guys back, said Nelsen, the clubs eighth manager in seven seasons. They know everything, they know the system.We dont have to make major changes, he added. The only changes were actually making are only going to be complementing the team.Leiweke has already said Nelsen is his manager for 2014 and Bezbatchenko added his endorsement Monday, saying a turnaround simply wasnt possible in one year. Both manager and GM say the team is close to that turnaround.The search for two designated player strikers continues, in tandem with a search for a handful of battle-hardened MLS veterans.Bezbatchenko says the team has a broad target list for the DP forwards.From there you whittle it down by figuring out who might be interested and you figure out their contract situation, and then you look at your budget. And then you speak to their agent or the club and see if theyre interested in doing a deal. So there was a wide net and its been narrowed down. But its still pretty broad.Goals are desperately needed. Toronto scored just 30 in 34 games this season to rank 18th in the league. Nelsens squad did manage to improve on defence with 45 goals conceded, compared to 62 in 2012.The off-season talent hunt includes speed on the midfield flank and depth in central midfield and the backline.Were on the right path, said captain Steven Caldwell, a hard-nosed Scottish defender who proved to be an inspired pickup. But we know we need a few more players, a bit of quality in different areas.One player after another said there should be no excuses for failure, given the teams ownership and resources. And most praised Nelsen as a players coach who knows what they go through because he has experienced it himself.Fullback Richard Eckersley, goalkeeper Stefan Frei and designated player/striker Danny Koevermans all managed to stay classy as they headed out the door Monday. One sensed they had far more to say, but Monday was not the time.Eckersley, with a US$500,000-plus contract in 2014 back-end loaded due to a renegotiation this season, is simply too expensive to keep for his last year. Look for the team to buy him out.Frei lost his stating job to injury and the fine play of Joe Bendik. His $200,000 contact is expiring and he will be allowed to go to greener pastures.Koevermans, whose expiring $1.663 million contract netted 78 minutes on the pitch this season, couldnt come back from knee surgery as the calf of the same left leg repeatedly broke down on him.I feel for Danny, said Nelsen, adding nobody wanted his designated player/striker on the field more than he did. But this is professional football, guys. This is not a charity. Decisions have to be made.Koevermans and Eckersley both said they had to go to the front office to get clarification on their future with the club.The club can comes across as cold, sometimes. Players learn whos in the matchday 18 by email, for example.Eckersley was kept out of the last five games as the team auditioned Mark Bloom — a move Eckersley said he could understand given his situation — while Frei was not given a chance to win his job back and only got a start against Chicago when Bendik was suspended.Football is a business, Frei said. Its also very much a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business.Koevermans said he experienced something close to a mental breakdown when his calf failed yet again.Nelsen said hes always willing to listen to a player with a problem.I try and talk to all the players if I can. My doors always open. And if anybodys got any problem, they always come in and talk. I cant get some of them out of the room, to tell you the truth.Nelsen said perhaps he could do a better job of searching out troubled players, but it sounded half-hearted.And he appeared to have Koevermans in mind when he made a point of noting how some players making a mere $35,000 a year turn up every single day for training and dont need any arms around his shoulders.To his credit, Koevermans did independently say the league needed to immediately increase its minimum wage.Nelsen, who has experienced the highs and lows of pro soccer himself, does not do warm and fuzzy very well. But he has had to deal with some unique situations at the club this season, electing to take criticism himself rather than share the real story.In terms of fires, hopefully weve put a lot of them out and hopefully well never see them again, he saidNelsen is looking out for his youngsters, however, and will likely make use of his contacts overseas to send the likes of Canadians Doneil Henry, Ashtone Morgan and Jonathan Osiorio to European clubs for some off-season training.Their departures will leave the 22-year-old Morgan (66 games) atop the list for league appearances in a Toronto FC shirt.Its not good is it? said Nelsen. Its not right, of course, and thats absolutely what we want to change.Nelsen has assembled a good core of youth, with seven of his starters in Saturdays win over Montreal aged 25 or younger. Getting the right strikers will augment the spine of the team (Bendik, Caldwell, Henry, Laba, Osorio).The turnover at the club drew fire from Koevermans, who said he had seen 54 players come and go during his two and a half seasons in Toronto.That says it all .... I just hope the next people in charge, they do it right. Because I think especially the city of Toronto deserves a winning team and also the fans because they keep on coming. Which is unbelievable.Toronto dressed some 37 players this season.Theres been way too much turnover here, said veteran midfielder Bobby Convey. Its very difficult as a player to get a rhythm with different guys on the field. My first, I think, seven or eight weeks I played with three different left backs. Thats a bit tough.One plus of a poor season is youth gets a chance to shine and the 30-year-old Convey says TFC will benefit from that next year.Koevermans, who called this season a personal disaster, says he plans one more attempt at soccer in his native Netherlands. He turns 35 Friday, so he knows time is against him.Eckersley says he would like to stay in the MLS, with a winning team. Frei kept his plans to himself. Carson Palmer Jersey .

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Joe Torre, Tommy Lasorda and Jim Leyland were among the many friends and family members at Tropicana Field on Saturday to celebrate the life of longtime baseball man Don Zimmer. The tribute was held before the Tampa Bay Rays played Seattle. Zimmer, a senior adviser for the Rays, died Wednesday at 83 in a hospital in nearby Dunedin. Both teams wore Zimmers No. 23 Brooklyn Dodgers jersey as they lined up along the foul lines. Fans stood and cheered at the end of a video tribute. There is no funeral or other memorial service planned. More than 20 family members, including Zimmers wife "Soot" -- they were married at home plate during a minor league game in 1951 -- also attended. "A great life," Soot Zimmer said. "No regrets." Son Tom Zimmer, a scout with the San Francisco Giants, caught the ceremonial first pitch thrown by granddaughter Whitney Goldstein. Torre says Zimmer was "one of a kind" and "an institution." Zimmer was Torres bench coach for four World Series championships with the Yankees. "His loss creates a void in my life," Torre said. "I hired a coach who became a family member, basically. I think baseball is just going to miss the presence of him. He was a big teddy bear, ttheres no question about it.dddddddddddd" Zimmer spent 66 years in baseball as a player, manager, coach and executive. "I just hope that people remember what a great baseball man this guy was," Leyland said. "He was a character, but he wasnt somebody that you laughed at when you understood how much this guy knew about baseball. His passion for the game and his passion for people." "Its kind of an ironic day," he said. "Todays the day of the Belmont, as you know, and everybody knows how he liked horses. Family came first, baseball second, horses third. So, family is here today, were going to have a ballgame and the Belmont is today." Zimmer convinced Torre not to make ties mandatory when the Yankees travelled. Torre, who wore a tie Saturday with horses on it, removed it when the subject came up during the ceremony. Yankees star Derek Jeter made a video statement. So did Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whose first big league manager was Zimmer with the Chicago Cubs. "He made an impact like no else has," Texas Rangers senior adviser Tom Giordano said. The ceremony ended with "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" played on a bagpipe. "Perfect," Tom Zimmer said. "Emotional." ' ' '
