MATT CARPENTER RUMORS
St. Louis Cardinals: Matt Carpenter Is King of Birdland
I’m doubting many baseball fans outside of the midwest know who Matt Carpenter is.
Diverting attention, Adam Wainwright is dominating the National League and catcher Yadier Molina is just three points behind Miguel Cabrera for the league lead in batting average. The Cardinals have the best record, boast the top rotation in the league and have an elite farm system that is the envy...
Matt Carpenter curses after striking out, Marlins’ broadcast replays it
St. Louis Cardinals’ Matt Carpenter struck out in the top of the 5th inning against the Miami Marlins and was not pleased about it. He yelled an audible ********** that the broadcast microphones picked up. Rather than edit out the word before showing a replay, the Marlins broadcast crew showed the replay and replayed the curse word for everyone to hear in case they missed it...
Could Kolten Wong end up being traded?
Earlier, I made the case for keeping David Freese (along with Matt Carpenter and Kolten Wong). In his chat today, Jeff Gordon backed me up, indicating that Matt Carpenter is probably the Cardinals long-term second baseman and that the Cards are unlikely to trade Freese. However, he surprised me a bit by indicating that Wong is expendable.
Here's Gordon's quote:

Carpenter and Kozma solve Cards' middle-infield dilemma
ST. LOUIS -- During the past offseason, Matt Carpenter was talking with his mom about his future in the major leagues. Though Carpenter enjoyed a strong rookie season with a .365 on-base percentage in 340 plate appearances, his baseball future coming into 2013 was far from secure.

Matt Carpenter, Developing Star
At this point, everyone knows the story of the Cardinals stealing Albert Pujols in the 13th round of the 1999 draft. In terms of production for the cost, it’s probably the best draft pick in Major League history. Well, apparently, the Cardinals are good at this whole 13th round draft pick thing, because exactly 10 years after they unearthed Pujols, they struck gold again.
Their...
The Curious Case of Matt Carpenter
Entering the season, the 2012 emergence of Matt Carpenter was thought to have created only one dilemma for the upcoming year: a battle for who would get more time at second base between himself and Daniel Descalso. Yet just barely two months into the season, Carpenter has put that debate completely to bed and is now working on changing the much bigger picture of the organization...
Matt Carpenter hit by three pitches in 7-6 loss
The world has caught on and has started talking about how great a job Matt Carpenter is doing as the St. Louis Cardinals second baseman and leadoff hitter. Carpenter is starting to get some recognition, but unfortunately not enough as he is fourth in All-star voting at his new position as of Tuesday.
