Yankees: Next & Final Move?

Chris Carter

With Yankees closing in on Alfonso Soriano, the next move they need to make is acquiring Chris Carter from the Houston Astros, to platoon with Lyle Overbay at first base.

Carter can be a player for next season and the future. I look at him as one those late-bloomer players. A player that starts to get great later in this career -- like a Chris Davis, Jose Batista, David Ortiz(well, **).

Carter has a ton of potential. The ball just explodes right off his bat; has that type of power a great player would usually have. And when Carter hits them, they go a long, long way.

With the right team, right place and time, he can bloom into something great. That could be with the 2013 Yankees.
