Chris Carter
Dbacks 1B not Vikings Receiver
Anyone out there seen 1B Chris Carter and can give firsthand account? He has three homers in the spring, and I'm wondering if there's word on his future as trade bait or development.
All I know he was drafted 17th round out of Stanford in 2004, plus he's a 1B which means he has no future with this organization.
The team site quotes Melvin saying that he has a "way to go" defensively -- has he missed the pitcher throwing back to the mound after the out yet? Any info on where this person is going in the organization, or what he looks like on the field from people who've been there (Otacon?) would be welcome

i've never seen him
He pounded in AA... probably see him land in Tucson this year if he continues on the path he's on in spring so far.

From John Sickels
Definitely trade bait, especially if he rakes in Tucson. Having his bat as a back-up wouldn't be bad either.
Speaking of first baseman and defense, from the 15 or so odd games I've seen of Jackson up close, he hasn't looked that bad. In fact, he has looked fine. Just wanted to get that out.

Carter
BA's take (http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minors/050908pulse.html)
My worry is he ends up like Jack Cust.
Though it's probably cool to share the same name as the X-Files creator and almost the same name as a HOF Wide Receiver :)

As well as...
...as I discovered when News.Googling him today to find the Banana link, it's also the name of New Zealand's Conservation Minister. :-)

Sounds like another Erubiel
Though I note Durazo isn't with a team at all now: a striking fall, for someone who batted .321 with 22 homeruns as recently as 2004. Maybe he's still coming back from his surgery?
