Fantasy Spotlight: Chris Carter
Throughout the month of March, theScore examines hitters who represent their team's most intriguing fantasy plays. This edition focuses on Milwaukee Brewers first basemen Chris Carter.
2015 in Review: 460 PA, .199/.353/.482, 50 R, 24 HR, 64 RBI, 1 SB
The Good: Carter is likely to see increased at-bats in the heart of the Brewers' batting order at hitter-friendly Miller Park. If he ends up with more than 500 plate appearances, he'll likely find himself among the top-10 NL home run hitters, along with plenty of RBI production.
The Bad: His atrocious .199 batting average and the league's second-worst strikeout rate (32.8%) are major red flags - particularly if they lead to occasional benchings.
Best Comparison: St. Louis Cardinals 1B Brandon Moss
What's in Store: His statistics from previous years suggest that another 30-HR, 85-RBI season is possible thanks to the combination of increased playing time and a new, hitter-friendly ballpark.
Draft Outlook: Due to his horrific .217 career average, the strikeout-prone slugger is limited to NL-only and head-to-head leagues where he will be available in the later rounds.
