Fantasy Analysis
Carson, 23, is sporting a 1.84 ERA in 12 relief appearances in Double-A, striking out 13 in 14 2/3 innings. He could fill a role as a left-handed specialist for the big-league club, however he is unlikely to have any value in Fantasy format, so continue to ignore him in all leagues. (Updated 05/16/2012).
