Can Carpenter recover from another slow start?... Matt Carpenter (3B, STL) got off to an excruciatingly slow start in 2018, before going on a three-month mid-season rampage. He's been struggling early on in 2019 as well, batting just .201 with four homers through 154 at-bats. Is there reason to be worried, or is he about to heat up again?
