For a good portion of his career, Carrigan has backed up Bill Peterson, an All-Star catcher, and as you can see, he was extremely productive when he was in the lineup. Carrigan has also periodically spelled Ed Konetchy at first base.
"Rough Bill's" productivity made it possible for the Red Sox to trade Peterson to the White Sox before the 1916 season, in exchange for solid third baseman Del Paddock and one of baseball's finest prospects, first baseman Joe Judge. Carrigan then made the trade look like a good one, as he made the 1916 All-Star team himself. Carrigan's batting average was 40 points higher than Peterson's, his OBP was over 50 points higher, and his slugging percentage was 80 points higher.
