Pickens Taken By The Revs In Waiver Draft

Apparently there was MLS interest in Matt Pickens.  In today's waiver draft for his rights New England claimed him.  This isn't helping my feeling that there was a deal to be made with Pickens sometime in the last year but who knows.  There's also some talk that Colorado may be on the hook for some of Pickens salary still, I've got a question into the Rapids about it but I'm not sure they're going to be willing to answer it.  that would be really poor handling if it turns out to be true.
