Mike Carp Got Cut
It's a move, but it's not a move that answers any questions you might've had about the roster. Unless your question was, "will Mike Carp get cut on March 25th?" Then it does answer a question, and the answer is, yes. Carp, who's only 23, is best known for being in that class of Mariner players who are way younger than you thought they were, along with Matt Tuiasosopo and Ryan Feierabend. There are more rings around our DH than there are around those three guys combined.
There's an interesting comparison between Mike Carp and Greg Halman:
| Carp | Halman | |
| Bats | Left | Right |
| Contact | Yes | No |
| Discipline | Yes | No |
| Power | No | Yes |
| Defense | No | Yes |
| Speed | No | Yes |
| Position | Infield | Outfield |
| American | Yes | No |
| Attractive | No | Yes? |
Now, I'm not saying the Mariners should experiment with gene splicing or cutting-edge selective lobe replacement surgery in the interest of developing a complete position player prospect, one capable of identifying strikes to hit for light tower home runs, one capable of running down liners in the gap and stealing home and modeling for magazines with feature articles about The Next Big Thing, one capable of being the greatest player - nay, person - the Pacific northwest has ever seen.

I just hope they pick Halman's face rather than a M's bullpen painting-esque mishmash of the two.
THAT.. would haunt my dreams.
Yes.....a 9-assed Carpman....it just might work!

Normally a "Now I'm not saying" statement is followed with a "but" in order to prove that's not what you're saying.
I had to do an images search of Greg Halman
He’s black? Wow, first Jason Heyward, and now Halman. This sure is confusing.
Wow I thought he was white also
He’s from Haarlem, Netherlands.

I was very confused finding out last year that Austin Jackson and Elvis Andrus were black, among others.
Now one of the first things I try to do when hearing about a prospect is to hit up Google Images.
My mind is still blown by Jason Heyward being black.
That’s why ESPN is comparing him to Willy Mays.
I was surprised to see Chris Carter was black.

Being openly rascist as a goof is okay. It's just a goof, guy.
I want to be a hippie, but I forgot how to love.
