All signs point to Carter Kieboom beginning the year in the minor leagues. All but gifted the third base job this year, he was unable to maintain a stronghold on the position by hitting a putrid .133 this spring. In the next few days expect to see him jettisoned to the minor leagues.

Kieboom needs to play every day to get his hitting groove back, and this will not happen at the big league level.
