Game 20 Detroit Tigers @ Minnesota Twins 8:10 p.m. EST 4/19

Always scary going to Carp.

He keeps hitting the way he is and they can play him in center for all I care.

And we can put Tork at SS and Perez at 3B.

It sucks that Carp made an error trying to get us the 4th out of the inning.

I definitely voted Carp. That said, I thought Carp was a "negative" defender. He has had a negative DRS.

Carp and Canha in the same lineup - can't use both at DH.

According to the blogger at TT, Carp is a plus defender

Silly people.

 

[gotime909]

Carp definitely isn't plus defense. But you guys get too wrapped up in defensive metrics. It's not like carp dropped a fly ball hit right at him. His bat more than makes up for his defense. Especially with this offense.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Maybe not but he played the ball horribly. And it's okay or should be okay to seperate offense and defense. Some would be okay with him in center, others not so much.

I think he's fine in LF. I was just talking about what the blogger said
