scenario Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Anthony Carter has quietly put together a nice AFL run. Not many innings due to short season, but as the team's closer he has 15K's and 0 BB's in 9 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Mitchell 0-3, 2 more k's. Almost over. Leesman had another bad inning. 11.81 ERA. He and Johnnie Lowe have sucked this AFL. I think both have to be added to the 40-man next week, or be exposed to Rule 5 draft. Don't hold me to that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he figure to be in the bullpen anytime soon?? After watching Santos and later in the year Infante ive grown very fond of watching white sox relievers.

Carter is behind the pace you'd expect for a really good prospect. He started off as a starter, but hung up for a year and a half in high-A ball in 2008 and 2009. Last year, he was moved to the bullpen pretty early in the season, put up a 3.92 ERA in Birmingham which isn't good, but his overall peripherals weren't bad. He doesn't seem to give up a ton of hits, but the 22 walks in 46 innings is the real long-term issue. He'll be 25 this year, so if he made it to the big leagues he'd be on an "Ok" schedule. He could be a middle relief/long relief option this year, but I wouldn't count on him at all this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Carter, but I thought I remember hearing that his stuff improved significantly when he was moved to the bullpen. If so, then his performance in the AFL could be a better sign of things to come than his totals in AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) What do his AFL walks look like? He had 22 in 57.1 IP this year. Definitely not as bad as you mentioned. He has 15 K to 0 BB in 9 AFL IP. Control has never been a red flag for him. I like Carter. His velocity starting touching the upper 90s in the bullpen. I think he could be a solid guy for us in a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
