Wed Apr 4 2012 | 22:19 | Nationals add OF Brett Carroll to roster |
Nationals purchased the contract of OF Brett Carroll from Triple-A Syracuse. |
Carroll snagged a roster spot, despite batting just .206 (13-for-63) this spring. He'll likely split at-bats with Roger Bernadina in center fielder initially, but could be the odd man out when Rick Ankiel (hamstring) is ready to come off the disabled list. |

Thu Mar 29 2012 | 15:55 | Brett Carroll knocks in three runs |
Brett Carroll tripled in three runs and walked twice Thursday against the Braves. |
With Michael Morse set to go on the DL, the Nats could keep Carroll as a part-time outfielder. Unlike Rick Ankiel and Roger Bernadina, he's a right-handed hitter, so he could start in center field against lefties. |

Sat Mar 3 2012 | 17:00 | Carroll, Ankiel making case for 25-man roster |
Nationals manager Davey Johnson singled out Brett Carroll and Rick Ankiel as two players he's been intrigued by this spring. |
The Nationals are looking to build a more productive bench in 2012. "I'm impressed with Carroll, who has opened my eyes," Johnson said. "Ankiel has looked very good this spring with his adjustments.'' Both Carroll and Ankiel signed minor league contracts this offseason and are capable of playing all three outfield positions. |

Thu Jul 21 2011 | 14:14 | Brewers call up OF Brett Carroll |
Brewers purchased the contract of OF Brett Carroll from Triple-A Nashville. |
He'll replace the injured Carlos Gomez on the active roster. Carroll, 28, was batting .281/.356/.469 with 15 homers, 51 RBI and nine stolen bases in 381 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. Those are some pretty gaudy numbers for someone who has a .205 batting average over 319 plate appearances in the major leagues. In short, don't expect much. |

Thu Jul 21 2011 | 08:28 | Brewers expected to call up Carroll |
The Brewers are expected to call up Brett Carroll to replace Carlos Gomez (broken collarbone) on the active roster. |
Gomez, who broke his left collarbone, is expected to be placed on the disabled list before Thursday's game. Carroll is batting .281/.356/.469 with 15 homers, 51 RBI and nine stolen bases over 93 games with Triple-A Nashville this season. The 28-year-old has an ugly .205 batting average over 319 plate appearances in the big leagues, so he's unlikely to be fantasy relevant. |

Carroll went 0-for-15 with the Royals before being reassigned to minor league camp last week. The 28-year-old outfielder has a .205/.284/.325 batting line over 319 major league plate appearances, all with the Marlins. He'll likely function as organizational depth at the Triple-A level. |

Sat Feb 19 2011 | 12:10 | Yost impressed with Brett Carroll so far |
Royals manager Ned Yost has been impressed with non-roster invitee Brett Carroll thus far. |
"This kid has been very impressive," Yost said. "Offense has always been his knock, a little bit, but he has tons of power. He plays all out. What's interesting about him is he signed (in 2004) as an infielder, and he looks interesting at third base." The problem for Carroll is that Alex Gordon, Melky Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur are the projected starting outfielders and Mitch Maier and Gregor Blanco are out of options. That doesn't even include Lorenzo Cain, who should eventually take over in center. Expect Carroll to begin the season at Triple-A. |

Royals signed OF Brett Carroll to a minor league contract. |
Carroll elected free agency after the Marlins outrighted him off their 40-man roster in early October. The 28-year-old outfielder hit just .197 in 32 games with the Marlins this year and registered equally poor production down on the farm. He's likely to begin the 2011 season at Triple-A. |
Tue Nov 16 2010 | 22:13 | Report: Royals sign OF Carroll |
According to Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Royals have signed outfielder Brett Carroll. |
We're assuming it's a minor league deal. Carroll became a free agent after being sent outright to Triple-A New Orleans last month. The 28-year-old outfielder batted .197 over 32 games with the Marlins this past season and just .221 with Triple-A New Orleans. |
