2013 rookie class vs. 2012 rookie class

[MLS SPOTLIGHT] How good is this year’s rookie class? We’ll only know down the road just how good are players like DeAndreYedlin, Gyasi Zardes, Dillon Powers and Andrew Farrell, but theycertainly have done better than last year’s rookie class. A look at last year’s rookie class offers a cautionary note. Of the 11 rookies who played 1,000 or more minutes in 2012, only six are startingregularly in 2013, and only one rookie, New England’s Kelyn Rowe, is starting regularly for a team in the playoff zone.
