Latest News
| Two more RBI for Matt Carpenter |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/19/13) Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter knocked in two runs in a loss Saturday against Milwaukee.
Both RBI came on his only hit in four at-bats, a sixth-inning single. He also walked and is hitting .303/.386/.452.

| Matt Carpenter in top form |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/15/13) You may not have noticed unless you own him yourself, but the Cardinals' Matt Carpenter has found another gear since the start of May, batting .386 (17 for 44) with four doubles and nine walks. He's the fifth highest-scoring second baseman in Head-to-Head leagues during that stretch and is now the eighth highest-scoring second baseman overall.
This is closer to what I expected from the first-year starter coming out of spring training: a high on-base percentage and enough extra-base power to distinguish him at a weak position. He's not quite as valuable in Rotisserie leagues given his limited home run ability and almost non-existent steals potential, but even in those formats, his quadruple eligibility makes him a definite asset.
If you like what Martin Prado has had to offer in recent years, you should like Carpenter as well.

| Matt Carpenter reaches base three times |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/14/13) Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter reached base three times Monday against the Mets.
Carpenter hit two singles and walked during the game. He scored and drove in two runs. Carpenter is hitting .294/.373/.449 in 136 at-bats. Jon Jay had a brief run in the leadoff spot, but the team has gone back to Carpenter recently, so he should continue to get a lot of at-bats.

| Matt Carpenter hitting well in May |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(5/8/13) Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter reached base four times in Wednesday's series finale against the Cubs. He went 2 for 3 with a pair of walks and two runs scored in the 5-4 win.
The 27-year-old reached on an infield single in the fifth inning before hitting a double in the seventh.
Carpenter is batting .346 (9 for 26) so far in May with one RBI and five runs scored.

| Matt Carpenter returns to leadoff spot |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/2/13) Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter has returned to the leadoff spot.
Carpenter had been hitting lower in the order lately, but is coming off a three-hit game Wednesday. He's lived up to his sleeper promise, hitting .283/.349/.475 in 99 at-bats this season.

| Nobody expected much from Matt Carpenter when he made the Cardinals out of spring training last year. Overshadowed by Matt Adams and Zack Cox in the minor-league system, he wasn't as much a building block for the future as a 26-year-old who had nowhere else to go. But beginning the first week of the season, when he filled in for an injured Lance Berkman, Carpenter showed the Cardinals he had a bat worth keeping him in the lineup. And they found creative ways to get it there, letting him spell an injury-prone David Freese or fill in for a banged-up Carlos Beltran from time to time. They even gave him a couple starts at second base and liked his performance there enough to give him an extended look at the position this spring. Of course, top prospect Kolten Wong will eventually claim second base, but among the candidates currently deemed major league-ready, Carpenter certainly offers the most offensively. With a good on-base percentage and doubles and triples pop, he would have genuine mixed-league appeal if he won a starting job. It's too much of a long shot for you to target him outside of NL-only formats, though. (Updated 1/8/13) |
