I was presuming Amezaga didn't have to start a ton, because we would have decent players. Nevertheless, I misspoke, my apologies.
That being said, ran through some numbers, and maybe Carroll isn't a half bad choice. If he comes at around $2M and we have to start him, 2 WAR would not be surprising. He's not a good hitter, but he gets on base decently enough and (more importantly) he isn't Amezaga/Bonifacio. If he plays either infield spot at a +5 runs / 150 games, we'd be looking at a pretty decent player. So I retract my statement, this wouldn't be a bad move at or below $2M.
