Gang of 20 fitting in with rebuilding A's

Gang of 20 fitting in with rebuilding A's:

"Chris Carter, who was part of the Haren deal, saw action at third and in the outfield at Class A Stockton because Sean Doolittle, a compensation-round pick in 2007, was at first base. Doolittle was moved up to Midland this month - and Matt Spencer, from the Blanton trade, is now getting some action at first. Carter's doing just fine, though - the 21-year-old is leading the California League with 27 homers, and the A's are hoping to get him to winter ball after the season to continue his maturation."

As the only non-4A amongst the top five minor league HR hitters, he is one to watch. If he can actually play either OF or 3B, then he will be a top rpospect at this time next season.
