The first thing to note is that Carp had a good outing yesterday -- 2 innings, no hits (unless you count Lastings Milledge taking one in the side), 3 popups and 3 ground balls. Not too shabby. In all honesty, though, a good outing is one where he throws 19 pitches, has his velocity back, and feels no pain. That he pitched effectively is icing on the cake. It’s so obvious that it’s not even worthy of mention but a healthy and effective Carp for 25+ starts improves our team probably by 3-4 wins. Still, 2 innings in the Grapefruit League is a long way from 25 effective starts but you’ve gotta walk before you can run, right?
