The only place Carpenter should be playing now is first base. Martinez isn't hitting for power right now and is like a baby goat on an ice pond playing defense. If you are going to give someone a blow right now with Carpenter it should be him. 2/3 Martinez, 1/3 Carp. We need a better left hand option off the bench. If he becomes the line drive doubles machine we paid him to be originally then we can find more at bats for him.
