It's shocking they don't have a Kris Johnson or a Devern Hansack at their disposal.

I really hope Carter gets a couple of starts over the next two series. I never understood why Tito doesn't do things like resting Youk and Lowell on consecutive days in order to give a Carter two straight starts. Or even three straight, with Papi being the third guy who could use a spell at this point. Certainly expect him to at least play on Sunday or Monday with the Pat's day game in the morning. Kottaras, too might see some extra action with some righties finally on the mound.
