He has missed most of the last two years with injuries
He is currently 33 years old
I have yet to see him drafted before the 20th round
Dude isn't listed as one of the top 82 starting pitchers by this site
He had a 1.07 WHIP in 221 innings in 2006
A recent report says he might become the Cardinals' closer in 2009
I'd say the chances of Carpenter ever becoming a closer are less than 19%
If he did become a closer, he'd have that nifty SP/RP eligibility
Bill James, CHONE, and Marcel do not think Carpenter will top 100 innings in '09
Carpenter did well on his recent "nerve conduction test" and "feels great"
Bonus bulletpoint: a Carpenter write-up in Baseball Notebook.

These situations (closer/starter and healthy/DL) should clear up in spring training.
