Phoenix — Chris Carter speaks softly but carries a big stick, as the old saying goes.
He also makes no apologies for it.
"I don't really say too much," the 6-foot-4, 250-pound slugger said with a chuckle. "I guess that's just how I've always been, and how I am still."
Be that as it may, the Milwaukee Brewers are hoping the six-year veteran will be able to make some noise this season at first base, a position that has been a revolving door since Prince Fielder departed via free agency following the 2011 season.
