[edit] Biographical Information

Pitcher Josh Karp was selected by the Montreal Expos in the first round of the 2001 amateur draft and made his pro debut the next summer. He began his career by going 4-1 with a 1.60 ERA for the Brevard County Manatees before posting a 7-5 record and a 3.83 ERA with the Harrisburg Senators that same year. However, he struggled with Harrisburgh in 2003, going 4-10 with an ERA of 4.98. He still moved up to the starting rotation of the AAA Edmonton Trappers in 2004 but posted an identical 4-10 mark and an ERA nearly a run higher, at 5.95. Karp split 2005 between Harrisburg and the New Orleans Zephyrs, going 5-6 with a 5.07 ERA between the two clubs. After that season, he had shoulder surgery, and he hasn't pitched since.
