From what I saw at the DBAP in the fall (understanding that it's a tiny sample size), there's no way he's not one of the 9 best bats in the lineup. defense will determine if he's a corner outfielder or a DH, but the bat-to-ball and plate discipline were super impressive.

surprised Forbes didn't name French as a starter outright. I expect he'll still be the guy on opening day, but seems like it's more likely than not that he doesn't finish the season in the starting 9

Our best 9 doesn’t include Carter (hopefully), but it’s great having a team guy who’s been there and done it before as #10. Reminds me of a Dallas Tesser/Mikey Madej/Johnny Castagnozzi guy who you can trust to pinch run, pinch hit/get a bunt down, defensive replacement.

Agreed I am hoping someone like Sawyer Black can get it together defensively and some of his approach at the plate. His bat has the chance to provide huge upside with his power.

But Carter is a great 9th-10th man to have who has been there done that
