ANALYSIS: Chris Carter has always had a ton of power that has translated into big HR numbers when he's had significant playing time. In 2015 Carter had 24 HR despite only posting 460 plate appearances across 129 games. In 2014 Carter had 572 at bats across 145 games and he notched 37 HR. Now playing for the rebuilding Brewers Carter should be able to reach 550 at bats over roughly 140 games played if he's able to stay healthy. That volume of playing time will likely allow Chris to hit 25-30 HR with the potential for even more. Just be sure that you're able to withstand a very bad batting average to come with all of those HR. Although he's currently hitting over .300, Carter has been very lucky in the BABIP department as his .306 BABIP is 40-60 points higher than it's been in the past 2 seasons. This means Carter's AVG willy likely return to the .220-.230 range.
