I can't believe Carp missing time comes as a surprise to anyone. The chances that a guy who has only pitched about 20 innings in the past 2 years would produce a full season were really slim to begin with. It sucks for him that it came on a play like that, but better now than in August/September, IMO. He was going to miss time somewhere. If the Cards can hang on until he comes back, it might not be such a good thing for us.
