The danger of selecting MLS players is the "he can't hit a major league fastball" quandary. It's hard to project success at higher levels where the game is faster, players more skilled, and faults get exposed. It's even hard to project success of European-based players in international play, let alone MLS players. (Yes the quality of play is improved). I have to believe talents will be developed further outside the US (assuming htte player is actually playing).
