Where Matt Carpenter should hit in the Cardinals owner is a fairly hot topic among Cardinals fans, and on this blog in particular. Don’t believe me?
- Here’s Ben Humphrey after the 2014 season on whether Carpenter should move out of the leadoff spot.
- Alex Crisafulli has no idea why Carpenter has better stats at leadoff and doesn’t really care.
- John Fleming wrote about how the Cardinals lineup ended up better with Carpenter at leadoff basically through random chance, but that Carpenter ran some pretty bad BABIPs outside of the leadoff spot that might just be bad luck.
