Carpenter's option picked up

[Pogotheostrich]

I guess the Cards think he can come back healthy.

Hopefully he can stay healthy all year again like he did last year except at the end of course. I think it's a good move for the Cards, he'll come a lot cheaper than the few options that are on the FA market even if he's not quite as good.

I loved watching Carpenter when he was a Jay. He came back really well last year and should put up decent numbers for years to come. Here's hoping!
