Moving Branyan to third and Carp to 1st is an intriguing way to add offense.. The downside is that you now have probably the worst infield defense in the league, but then your OF D is awesome and you're in a flyball park behind a predominantly flyball pitching staff. It shouldn't be that bad and the offensive boost is what important.. Still, I'm probably sticking with Beltre for now. In any contending scenario we need his bat to come alive and we need his overall production.
For me Carp is the regular DH for now to see if he can keep this up and Griffey gets demoted to pinch hitter. No, no, no to Griffey in LF. Just today he completely botched a routine flyball in the early innings. Chavez would have had that EASY and right now their bats aren't that far off. I think even Wlad would have had that ball.
