I didn't think that they were rated so differently before the draft.</p> Interesting how Turner got so much more than Shelby Miller and Wheeler.

Karns has a plus fastball with a potentially devastating slider, but his mechanics are all screwed up, leading to some awful command. His pro body (6’5’’/225) is watched with extreme interest from scouts, but he fell this far due to the mechanics questions. He still hasn’t signed, and he’s currently pitching in the Texas Collegiate League, where he’s flashing his plus stuff and poor command. DOB: 11/25/87.</li> </ol> <p>http://mlbbonusbaby.com/2009/07/07/draft-review-washington-nationals/</p>
