I understand that not all draft picks work out but why did the Nats draft sort tossers like Fedde and Crowe so high?  At least draft guys who can throw upper 90s. 

Because Fedde was scouted at low to mid 90s with movement, a plus slider, and a decent change up.

Upper 90s from starters is not all that common, even today. It's certainly not that common in college. Fedde isnt a soft tosser.
