After a few blips and some struggles making contact at the beginning of the year, Carter has rebounded well. He still has 27 home runs this year, and 98 over his last three years in the minor leagues. That's power with a capital 'p.' This is an exciting callup, and though rookies often struggle at first, and the full details of Daric Barton's injury are not yet known, he's interesting in most leagues immediately.
