The only thing that kept Astros fans from wanting Chris Carter out of the lineup (for good) early on, was the thought that just maybe he could be a second-half wonder once again. His abysmal .185 first half with 115 strikeouts in 85 games made us believe he could only get better, right?
We were hoping it could be the same story as 2014, which saw Carter come into the All-Star break sporting a .205 average with 99 strikeouts, only to see him break out in the second half.

In just 64 games, Carter amassed 18 home runs at a 13 ab/hr clip, both of those lead all of baseball in that span.
