Sox Call Up Chris Carter as Ortiz Goes on DL

In a surprise move the Red Sox have called up Chris Carter from the PawSox to fill the roster spot vacated by David Ortiz. Carter was acquired in the Willy Mo deal last season. Boston chose to call up Carter over Moss, Kielty, and Van Every mainly because they need a pure hitter to replace Ortiz, defense was not a necessity. For more info on Chris Carter look here and here.
