Chris Carter is off to a rough start in the Bronx. The former Brewer signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal late in the offseason to provide right-handed power at first base and designed hitter. Carter, who tied for the National League lead with 41 home runs last season, is hitting just .211 with only 1 home run and 13 strikeouts in the early going of 2017. While his performance has certainly disappointed, what is perhaps more unfortunate is that he’s already become the Yankees’ designated scapegoat.
From what I can tell, Carter is far and away the least popular Yankees player this season.
