If, as rumors have it, the Pirates are interested in Carp to platoon with Gabby Sanchez at 1B, today;'s performance by Mike must have opened a few eyes. If PIT is not comfortable with Chris MacInniss as the LH counterpart, then Carp seems like the perfect candidate.
Carp seems hampered by the presence of Sizemore and Nava as LH OF and, in the case of Nava, IB backup. I like the guy and what he can contribute. But he could get caught up in a numbers crunch. What can the Sox possibly expect in return...Josh Bell?..other prospects?

Lambo has absolutely demolished RHP's the last couple seasons in AA and AAA, and despite primarily playing in the OF, he was a top defensive 1B in high school and has proclaimed himself fully comfortable playing there this season. The Pirates don't need Carp, and the Sox don't need to look to move him, nearly as much as people think.

Misspelled his name. It's McGuinness, like the beer. Former RS farmhand.

He slashed .229/.337/.375/.713 vs. RHP’s in AAA last year, and simply doesn’t generate much offensive value for a 1B besides having a solid eye. If there’s no trade, it’s almost certainly gotta be Lambo.
