Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 5022675, member: 2504"] Broadhurst spent 7 years in college, he was redshirted in his freshman season at UConn before transferring to Eastern. Like I said before, I get the idea that for the most part the teams in the MLB draft are not interested in drafting 25 year olds when they can pick someone who is around 21 years old who shows potential for his game to grow. David Smith spent 4 years in college, transferring to UConn after his freshman season at LaSalle, so he would have been about 22 years old when he was drafted. I was not surprised at all when Smith got drafted, he did very well at UConn and played all over the place, both in the infield and outfield, and wasn't bad at any of those defensive spots. Like I said before, I doubt all that many grad transfers get taken in the MLB draft, it seems the older the player is, the less likely that player will get taken in the draft. [/QUOTE]
