Chris Carter’s play has only demonstrated that he does not belong in the big leagues – and starting him ahead of Godzilla (as DH) would not be wise. The A’s are better off playing vets such as DeJesus or Coco Crisp if triple-A players such as Carter or Michael Taylor (.276 BA, 16 homers at Sacto) are their best OF prospects.

I would take Hideki over giving Chris Carter more chances to prove he’s not a MLB hitter.
I don’t know how much worse Carter has to be as a hitter or fielder to prove he’s a waste of more time. Trade him is the best option left.
Brandon Allen must have been on some type of PEDs since high school. He’s a keeper. Just,what does Arizona know that we don’t to trade him for magic beans?

I’d put Willingham and starting DH next year, and cycle the young guys through there as backups. Matsui’s Melvin-era emergence was nice to see but he’s just too old.
