I think this is BS. For one, I don't see Carman as a guy with massive hidden upside...at least not compared to similar prospects. Also - and this is the main thing - the most value is with a guy who can protect our franchise player (and his surgically repaired knee) right now.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
