The Athletics are moving long-time first baseman Chris Carter to left field. Carter is Oakland's top power-hitting prospect. The team says they know what he can do as a first baseman and designated hitter and simply want to see him as an outfielder for two months. "We moved Chris to the outfield because Daric Barton has really established himself at first base," assistant general manager David Forst said. "We figured it wouldn't hurt. ... There's not a big, grand plan."
