First baseman Chris Carter is still available in free agency, but maybe not for long. The 30-year-old Carter put up career highs in 2016 and was recently non-tendered by the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2016 Carter hit .222/.321/.499 with 41 home runs and 94 RBI in 160 games for the Brewers. Carter also struck out 206 times in 2016, so what makes him a must have for the Texas Rangers?
There is an easy answer to that question and it is because of his power. Over the last four seasons Carter has hit 131 home runs meaning he could do some real damage in a Rangers uniform.
