Oh David Carpenter, we hardly knew ye. Instead of Jacob Lindgren being shipped back to Triple-A so that the Yankees wouldn't have to run with only two righties in the bullpen, Brian Cashman has set you free like a balloon on a windy day. There was so much hope when you arrived with Chasen Shreve in the Manny Banuelos trade. Two straight years with a FIP under 3.00 had made you a welcome addition to the post-Shawn Kelley world.
If only we knew.
It took until April 15th for you, David, to show the first signs of what some would begin to call The David Carpenter Experience.
