As a companion piece to an article that ran in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and on StlToday.com, this BPIB short dives deep into two key questions for the Cardinals and All-Star third baseman Matt Carpenter: who can he be as a hitter and where should he hit. In a candid conversation with baseball writer Derrick Goold, Carpenter discusses why he takes such pride in being a leadoff hitter, how he's the "right fit" at this time for the Cardinals, and also how he's willing to move elsewhere if a new No. 1 is best for the team. Carpenter also talks about the spike in strikeouts he and the team experience while also predicting a much improved offense for 2016. The story and podcast are both available on StlToday.com.
