26-year old righty swinging 1B/OF Chris Carter has been a big time power hitter for the Astros in 2013, but he has a lot of holes in his swing. Carter has played in 131 games for the Astros so far this year and he is 97 of 446 (.217 avg, .764 OPS) with 57 runs scored, 27 homers, 74 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. Carter is leading the Astros in homers (27) and RBIs (74) so far this year. He is also second on the team in runs scored with 57 of them. But, he has holes in his swing as he has whiffed 192 times so far this year. The Astros are willing to put up with the whiffs as long as Carter keeps hitting a lot of dingers.
