Yankees Mailbag: Matt Carpenter, Austin Wells, and going for history

Good afternoon everyone, it’s time for another edition of the mailbag. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.

Hankflorida asks: I would like your scenario of how Carpenter can get more at bats other then at DH when Stanton plays right or as a pinch hitter late in games, or do you feel that he is this part time player and an insurance policy if anyone gets hurt?

I think the evidence indicates that the team sees him in the latter state.
