What an idiot KLaw is. Just goes to show how arbitrary his selection process is, and how he just kind of decides whether he likes someone or doesn't and then fits the evidence around that.

Karns is heading into his age-25 season, has never been above high-A, and has a history of shoulder problems. He's never thrown more than 116 innings. To project that kind of player as a #2 starter and in your top 100 prospects is ridiculous.

It's just another instance of Keith Law deciding it's more important to take a controversial stand about a prospect than it is to realistically evaluate. I can't remember how many times he's said that other guys with only 2 pitches, injury histories, and strain in their deliveries are RP and not worthy of the top 100.
