December 23, 200322 yr Shoulda got Josh Karp in that Floyd deal. 2. Josh Karp, RHP HT: 6-5 WT: 210 Bats: R Throws: R 2003 AGE: 24 on 9/21/03 The Skinny: The sixth overall pick in the 2001 draft, Karp signed too late to make his professional debut until 2002. Considered one of the more advanced pitchers in the draft, the Expos started him in the Florida State League, where he didn't allow an earned run in his first three professional games, spanning 19 innings. He made just seven starts before earning a promotion to Harrisburg in the AA Eastern League, and continued to pitch well, allowing just one hit over 7.2 innings in his final start. Karp's fastball is in the 91-93 mph range and has good late life. His hard curveball also breaks late and he keeps opposing hitters off balance with a solid circle change. He has improved his control, walking fewer than three per nine innings over the final two months. He still has trouble facing lefties, who have been successful in turning on his fastball when he works up in the zone.
December 23, 200322 yr As we've seen, Wayne isn't the answer. We need to sign a cheap veteran to be the 5th starter.
December 23, 200322 yr Author When Wayne is an asset during the season, I'm going to revisit this thread. I still believe Wayne is going to play a role in helping this team in '04.
December 23, 200322 yr I dont know if anyone has thought about it but If Trevor Hutchinson has a good Spring shouldnt he be given a chance to fight for the 5th starter job?
December 23, 200322 yr I still believe Wayne is going to play a role in helping this team in '04. Yes, Wayne HUIZINGA can help the team by giving us a better lease.

December 23, 200322 yr obviously the kid's still got a lot of work to do. he has the advantage of being a Loria favorite though, probably will get more than enough opportunities to prove himself.
December 23, 200322 yr I said this a year ago Justin Wayne is trash, he may make it as a long reliever and an occasional starter... on another team. If you look down the list of guys on The Fish that are better off as a starter than he is, I don't see how he's any part of their future
December 23, 200322 yr I still believe Wayne is going to play a role in helping this team in '04. Didn't you also believe that in 03 as well...
December 23, 200322 yr Author Didn't you also believe that in 03 as well... I believed in him in '03, yes. I still do however.
December 23, 200322 yr damn i had high expectations when i saw Wayne pitch for the first time in the Majors. But now, he is getting worser and worser.
December 23, 200322 yr I dont know if anyone has thought about it but If Trevor Hutchinson has a good Spring shouldnt he be given a chance to fight for the 5th starter job?
December 24, 200322 yr 3 off-season starts and some of you have given up? come on... Screwing up, getting hit hard, and than learning from your mistakes is what makes a better ballplayer, and it's a helluva a lot better he's doing it now than with the Marlins later on. (whenver that may be) 3 off season starts and 2 years with horrible AAA numbrs lol
