Jaso and Carp having to be included in the category of "let's find out what we've really got here." It's 7/9 if you include Smoak, 8/9 if you include Ackley.
If the M's are going to play a team full of rookies, I'd much prefer they put the bats in there and see who can hit.
In this case it would not be a guaranteed failure, because there are lots of players to shuffle in and out.
