One of the times I got excited about Carp I asked if maybe he could make up for some of the disappointment about not getting Rendon. Then he went out and did another MLB face-plant. Buuuuuuut . . .
Boy does he look legit now. And a LH hitter who can use the whole field.
Get Smoak healthy and confident annnnnnnd . . .
3. Ackley LH 23
4. Carp LH 25
5. Smoak SH 24
6. Wells RH 26
Suddenly we have a middle of the order.
No more Olivo-or-Pegeuro roulette-wheel offense. No more squeezing the last juice out of Adam Kennedy.
The biggest concern about that group (besides getting Smoak healthy and back in the groove) is Wells' eye and K%, but he's still a huge upgrade over the guys we were running out there.
