The Book on Chris Carter
Prospect Info
Chris Carter
Born 9/16/1982
1B, BOS
No, this isn't (Vernon) Chris Carter, the California-born first-baseman traded from Arizona to Oakland for Dan Haren. This is (William) Chris Carter, the California-born first-baseman who was traded from Arizona (!) to Boston for Wily Mo Pena. This Chris Carter is four inches smaller and four years older, with more refined skills but a lower ceiling. He's also a left-handed hitter, unlike the Earth-A version. He's a viable first base candidate, but less of a big league talent than the Carter the A's picked up. He could spend some MLB bench time in 2008 or 2009 spelling Youkilis (a task we've all struggled with from time to time.)
