I will always remember picking up Chris Carter in Dingers, the season Will dropped him. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 10, 06:54
He's not going to start at 1st. We have three guys right now and if Bird is healthy he'll be playing there most games. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:47 12
- He strikes out way too much and had an awful average but he still put up 41 hrs. That's not something to just ignore. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:48 5
  - if he would learn to walk more, he would have some use, but a .290 OBP is poopies. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:50 4
    - For 3.5 mil, you take your chances. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:51 2
      - he makes Trumbo look like Tony Gwynn. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:52 1
        
        Trumbo had 1.6? War last year. Carter had to have better than a .5 - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:56
    - Heh. :-) Yup. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:51
- he is a perfect DH, since he sucks in the field anyway. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:48 5
  - Yeah, I read that as well. We have Holliday slotted into the DH spot so I'm not really sure where Carter is going to fit. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:50 4
    - Depth. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:52 3
      - I assume they'll split the DH duties but if neither gets regular enough at bats I worry that neither will be able to get into a groove at the plate. - Krusty Feb 10, 06:55
      - yeah, I am not sure you are gonna get 100 games of him at this point. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:53 1
        
        And Bird is an unproven rookie coming off a major injury. Let's not assume he will earn 150 starts - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 10, 06:58
Did he sign? I didn't see it. -- nm - iSpam Feb 10, 06:46 5
- Yup, he's a Yankee. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:47 4
  - I was kinda hoping we'd get him cheap. We don't really have a DH and it's not like we're trying to win anyway. -- nm - spamlet Feb 10, 06:48 3
    - I would rather spend the $ and sign Wieters, as a young staff could use a good catcher. -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 06:49 2
      - I'm really surprised he's still unsigned. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 06:50 1
        
        his agent overplayed his hand, teams all went with cheaper options because 15 mil a year for Wieters is too much. - groiny Feb 10, 06:51
