at this point in his career, demanding to play full time? With his injury history? Decline in production?

The only teams that would do that is non-contending teams looking to boost attendance.

Their DH slot was also pretty blocked by a pitcher.

If he's smart he will come home. Puljos could fill in for Goldy when he needs a day off just as well as Carp.


Take Carpenters AB's off the bench. I'm sure Pujols could give us more production off the bench than Carp. Thats a pretty low bar to clear. Seems like every time I catch one of Carp's AB's he's meekly swinging at something in a strikeout or meekly grounding out to the 2B/1B and leaving men on base in scoring position.
