Carter was called up from Triple-A on Friday, and has started the last two games at first base for the A's against a left-handed pitchers going 3-for-8 with two home runs. The 25-year old had twelve home runs in Triple-A with a .279/.367/.482 slash line in 324 plate appearances with five stolen bases, and could snag the full time job first base job away from the struggling Brandon Moss with a strong performance. With a career .252 ISO in the minors and a 12.1 percent walk rate, Carter has shown the ability to be a patient power hitter who strikes out too often (23.3 percent). However, owners should keep an eye on his performance over the next week or so, and he is worth starting against LHP in daily draft leagues right now.
