All that said, I'm still not that high on Carp. Guys without really good hitting talent and so-so development curves (perfomances) usually don't pan out. When they DO pan out, it can take forever. O'Neal took a while (best case scenario IMO), and Ibanez took longer. If he was a GG at first or something it would help, but I've heard average or a little below so he'll have to make an impact with the bat. He can't just turn into a league-average hitter.
His improvement, the fact that Z likes him, and his makeup make him somebody to keep on eye on though.
