THE LONG BALL In 2014 MLB: TOP 5 HRs AL/NL + Who Will Win The HR Titles?
Chris Carter iis leading the Majors in bombs since May 09 – with 28 big flies and 66 RBI during that time frame in just 305 AB. He has fashioned his bolts in a short amount of time by having Multi HR Games, and also coupling it with consecutive streaks. This guy is looking like a keeper for Houston, and may be one of the guys that got away from Billy Beane. The massive DH/1B/OF burned his old squad last night by drilling a 3 run bomb in the bottom of the 8th inning to give the Astros a 4 – 2 win. The victory knocked Oakland out of 1st place. I think he will win the HR title in the AL now. Wouldn’t that be something if he won that, in addition to Jose Altuve possibly winning the Batting title?

Chris Carter… we have been preaching this man’s name at this website for years. Our founder and former lead writer Jonathan told me about this man 3 years ago.
When he was traded by Billy Beane, Jonathan explained it would be a deal that he will regret. Now with the A’s lacking some firepower, and Jed Lowrie on the shelf, plus having an off year, the Astros are looking good in this one.
I have also pointed out the A’s GM forced the Astros to go over their roster limit – exposing Nate Freiman for him to pluck as a Rule 5 Draft right after, however it is hard to argue the “Moneyball” man may end up on the wrong side of this deal long-term.
It would behoove Oakland to have Freiman see more Plate Appearances. The big 6 ft 7 behemoth clubs 3 HRs in 2 games in Atlanta – and then rides pine for 4 games in the next week.
That is a blog for another time.
We are talking about Chris Carter. This big man was once an afterthought in Houston this year, despite bombing 29 jacks in 2013. Bo Porter was taking flak for having CC still in the lineup back in May when he was hitting about ..153 with 4 HRs as of May 9th.
Since that day, he has crushed 28 HRs and added 64 RBI.in his last 302 AB. This represents about half of a season, and this guy has been completely on fire. Read the rest of this entry
