Mike Carp Added to the 40 Man Roster

NY Post reports, the Mets elevated first baseman Mike Carp to their 40-man roster today, increasing said roster to 34 players. Carp, 22, hit .299 with 17 homers and 72 RBIs in 134 games for Double-A Binghamton en route to being named an Eastern League Postseason All-Star and is now playing winter ball in Venezuela.

By placing Carp on the 40-man roster at today's deadline, the Mets avoided leaving him eligible for next month's Rule 5 draft. Carp, a potential down-the-line replacement for Carlos Delgado at first base, was a ninth-round pick by the Mets in 2004.
