What does this board expect from Tyler White this season?

He's hit at every level of the minors. Crushed it in AAA last season. Named MVP of the winter league. Crushed it in spring training this year. And off to an amazing start already. Can he keep it going? My corner infielder is Matt Carpenter, and I'm thinking of trading Carpenter to make room for White in my regular lineup. My only concern is AJ Reed. Thoughts?

I think he could have a .350 OBP with 15 homers if everything works out. However, no one knows if this newfound power is sustainable.

Why don't you trade White and keep Carpenter

Perceived value. Carpenter's value right now >>> White's value right now. If White is likely to outperform Carpenter, it makes sense to keep White and trade Carp.

Tyler White should not outperform Carpenter.

I actually think White will come pretty close to Carpenter's 3 year average: 16 home runs, 74 RBI's, 109 runs, .288 avg.
ETA: I actually forecast White to hit more than 16 HR's and have less than 109 runs, but all in all, they're not that far apart. Thoughts?

I would not look at Carpenter's three-year average. He changed his profile for 2015.
Strikeout rate
2013 13.7%
2014 15.7%
2015 22.7%
ISO
2013 .163
2014 .103
2015 .233
Home runs
2013 11
2014 8
2015 28
Essentially, Carpenter sacrificed contact for power. I have no idea what player he will be in 2016, but 2013/2014 Carpenter =/= 2015 Carpenter. If he keeps a similar profile to last year, then Carpenter will be much better than White. At White's best, he will approach Carpenter's 2013/2014 profile, which is a damn good player.

Yea, and the only way White comes close to 13/14 Carpenter is if he has a job throughout the season, which I'm not sure is a given.

You can look at carpenters 3 year averages and find a handful of players that hit those numbers consistently
White wouldnt be the first guy to have a hot 5 game stretch and fade away
Surely someone overvalues white. Trade for whatever you can get, keep carpenter

Disapproval of my meth operation.

think Jeff Cirillo or Billy Butler when they were good. I think that is his ceiling.

I think Carpenter and Heyward got caught in a lightning storm together in St. Louis and ended up switching bodies.
Jason Heyward's season last year was ACTUALLY Matt Carpenter and vice versa. It was like a freaky friday type deal.
