Fantasy Analysis
While Carroll has earned the distinction of being a utility infielder for Minnesota, he is still playing every day. He's just bouncing between shortstop, third base and second base. Unfortunately, Carroll's offensive numbers aren't impressive. Although, his recent run could be a sign that his season is ready to turn around. Carroll owns just a .258 BABIP on the season, which is well below his career .321 mark. He has a .310 BABIP in his last nine games, so Carroll's luck is finally turning. Unfortunately, he is still more of a contact hitter and won't post respectable power numbers. Leave him for AL-only Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/13/2012 17:31 Diamond's 7 shutout innings lifts Twins
Scott Diamond pitched seven shutout innings, Brian Dozier hit his first career homer and the Minnesota Twins held on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 Sunday.
Twins skipper Ron Gardenhire proclaimed Jamey Carroll Minnesota's starting shortstop way back in January, but the 37-year-old will still have to play his way into the starting job during spring training. Carroll is expected to start over Tsuyoshi Nishioka, who was wildly disappointing as a rookie last year. That said, the Twins would probably be starting Nishioka in a perfect world after he came into the league with plenty of hype. Experience should win out, at least at first, for the Twins and Carroll will look to build upon the .290 season he had over 452 at-bats with the Dodgers last year. Carroll hasn't homered in back-to-back seasons but did swipe 10 bases last year for L.A. He could provide decent numbers in AL-only and deeper Rotisserie formats as the everyday SS for the Twins. Still, Carroll should only be taken as a last-resort in Fantasy drafts. (Updated 2/8/12)
