Carp hits another HR: Mariners first basemen Mike Carp belted his fourth home run of the season during Sunday's series finale against the Rockies. Carp belted the solo home run off starter Jermery Guthrie in sixth inning of the 6-4 win. However, that would turn out to be his only hit as he finished 1 for 3 at the plate. "I've been working real hard with Chambo (hitting coach Chris Chambliss) on timing and getting my hands in the right position," Carp said. "Like I said after I hit my first home run (of the series, on Friday), I'm going to have good days and bad days. Luckily, those good days are starting to pick up a little more. I've got to keep working hard, hopefully get in a rhythm and take off like last year." (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Carp has really been struggling for the Mariners, but was able to take advantage of the thin air in Colorado by belting a pair of home runs in Seattle's three-game series at Coors Field. Despite his recent power surge, Carp is hitting just .172 over his last 10 contests and has five RBI over that stretch. While he should continue to see regular at-bats, Fantasy owners should consider the 25-year-old merely an AL-only option until he starts producing a bit more consistently. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/13/2012 16:32 Mariners spoil Pettitte's return for Yanks
Andy Pettitte made his much-anticipated return to the Yankees on Sunday, getting lavished with adoration while pitching into the seventh inning despite giving up a pair of two-run homers in New York's 6-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners.
Mike Carp came out of seemingly nowhere to have a breakout campaign for the Mariners in 2011. After going just 7 for 35 (.200) with zero RBI during his first stint in the majors last season, he looked like a totally different hitter after being recalled in mid-July. He batted .286 with 12 homers and 46 RBI over his final 64 games and earned himself some playing time both at first base and in the outfield. While his .326 on-base percentage was not that impressive, the .466 slugging percentage he posted shows that he has some budding power. The 25-year-old will likely have a starting job in Seattle in 2012 so keep an eye on his progress and consider Carp a viable option in deeper mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 1/3/12)
