I don't understand having Marwin bunting there. There no outs with Dominguez on 2nd and Altuve on deck. Let him hit.
Probably not gonna cut a young guy on pace for 34 HR, who also happens to be second on your team in rbi and first in rbi among regulars. Also the guy who leads your team in bb's. Not saying he is going to be a great player, but . . . .
Because batting average on April 23 is a good reason to cut someone with 30+ hr power and is leading the team in hr and RBI.
Well his average and k's are terrible . . . . but let's be logical here if possible? He is second on the team in rbi, second on the team in runs, only Altuve and Pena have a better OBP out of regular players . . .so not thinking Luhnow is rushing out to cut the guy right now
Leading this team?? You re stating like that is Some kind if feat? The guy is awful his approach is terrible and also his attitude.. Also who in the hell is hitting coach 14k through 8 innings 0-13 with men on base needs to be fired
Ok, i'm guessing they won't be cutting Carter tonight though, maybe i'm wrong. It certainly would clear up some more at bats for Ankiel and F Martinez though, if that is what you are wanting?

Yep, which sucks because he is a guy it would have been nice to see play everyday and see if he progressed much
