Louisville D Farrell taken 1st in MLS draft  (AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill) INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Louisville defender Andrew Farrell was selected by the New England Revolution with the top pick in Major League Soccer's draft on Thursday. The 20-year-old was a first-team All-American last season as a junior, when he shifted from midfield to the back line. New England acquired the top pick from Toronto a day earlier. Connecticut midfielder Carlos Alvarez was taken by Chivas USA with the second pick. From East Los Angeles, Alvarez was with the U.S. Under-20 team in 2008 and Mexico's Under-20 team the following year. Toronto then selected Kyle Bekker, a Canadian midfielder from Boston College, and Vancouver drafted 18-year-old forward Kekuta Manneh. Updated January 17, 2013
