One of the great speculative themes you find in any spring training occurs when we ask "can he come back?" about any given player rehabbing from injury. The answer for Chris Carpenter is "yes," because he's done this before. But if you ask "can he come back again?" the answer is less clear. Carpenter is such a unique case with a unique combination of circumstances that he demands a nuanced look, not only at how his problems mesh together, but at how his strengths might help him return to the mound.
