The Book on Chris Carter
Prospect Info
Chris Carter
Born 12/18/1986
1B, OAK
Chris Carter, a hard-hitting first baseman from Redwood City, California, is one of the busload of prospects Oakland acquired from Arizona in the trade that sent Dan Haren to the desert. Often confused with the other first base prospect named Chris Carter, Oakland's version is the bigger, stronger, younger and much more right-handed version.
He's a couple of years away from seriously contributing, and he's moved from being blocked by Conor Jackson to being blocked by Daric Barton (note: not good news for Carter fans), but he's got a quality bat and good plate discipline, two things that Oakland loves dearly. He could show up in 2009 or 2010 at 1B, OF or DH.
