As the Panda returns to S.F.,
Chris Carter returns to the A's. I mean, he's a no-risk player right? Right?
I think the only way he makes the big club is when/if Alonso gets traded. Even in that case, I'd want Healy at first and Carter off the bench.
In that same link, Montas is back with the club. Hopefully he worked out the kinks in the minors. The GM really likes this kid and had a longer leash than I would have given him earlier in the season. But he certainly has the talent.
