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.
