Do you really think there aren't dozens of current Major Leaguers who spent 6+ seasons in the minor leagues? Because that's kind of the point you're making right there.

7 years in the minors, after a college career, that went on to be good MLB players? I'd bet that number is extremely low.

And by the way, it's currently 6 minor league years, not 7.

And if the question is find a starting-calibre major leaguer on a contender that spent the majority of 6 seasons in the minors after a college career... you don't have to look any further than both members of the starting middle infield for your very own team.

It happens.
