Carroll Gets His Chance and Promotions Announced

Carroll Gets His Chance
With Guzman, Vidro, Sledge, Will Cordero, and six other Nationals on the DL, and Mateo just coming off the DL, Jimmy Carroll will get his chance to play every day.
His career major league average? .288 (which includes this year).
2002
In 71 AB's in 2002, Carroll hit .310, with 5 doubles, 3 triples, 1 home-run, and just 1 stolen base (.347 OBP/.507 SLG). 1 Game at 2B (2 innings, no balls hit his way). 13 games at 3B (125 innings, 36 TC, 7 PO, 26 A, 3 Errors, 2 DP). 3 games at SS (26.2 innings, 17 TC, 6 PO, 10 A, 1 Error, 2 DP).
2003
In 227 AB's in 2003, Carroll hit .260, with 10 doubles, 1 triple, 1 home-run, and 5 stolen bases (.323 OBP/.326 SLG). 11 games at 2B (51.1 innings, 27 TC, 12 PO, 15 A, O Errors, 5 DP). 67 games at 3B (421.1 innings, 163 TC, 43 PO, 115 A, 5 Errors, 8 DP). 14 games at SS (50 innings, 22 TC, 7 PO, 15 A, 0 Error, 4 DP).
2004
In 218 AB's in 2004, Carroll hit .289, with 14 doubles, 2 triples, 0 home-runs, and 5 stolen bases (.378 OBP/.372 SLG). 51 games at 2B (344.2 innings, 182 TC, 84 PO, 97 A, 1 Errors, 32 DP). 13 games at 3B (78 innings, 36 TC, 8 PO, 26 A, 2 Errors, 1 DP). 10 games at SS (59 innings, 27 TC, 11 PO, 16 A, 0 Error, 4 DP). 2 games at OF (6 innings, 2 TC, 2 PO).
2005
In 37 AB's so far in 2005, Carroll has hit .405, with 0 2B, 1 triple, 0 home-runs, and 1 SB (.439 OBP/.459 SLG). 9 games at 2B (49 innings, 32 TC, 17 PO, 15 A, 0 Errors, 6 DP). 2 games at 3B (15 innings, 2 TC, 0 PO, 2 A, 0 Errors, 0 DP). 3 games at SS (8 innings, 1 TC, 1 A, 1 DP).
Mark Zuckerman, of the Washington Times, has also written an article about Carroll and his chance. Zuckerman notes that with the injuries, Carroll will be the everyday 2B for the foreseeable future. I'm not sure, but it appears that this article was posted on 5/10/05. That's after Guzman became injured and left last nights game, and after it was learned that he will likely be out at least 5 to 7 days. Right after Guzman left the game, Carroll moved to SS and Baerga took over at 2B. Maybe Carroll will move back to 2B for the foreseeable future, does Mateo play SS (instead of, say 2B)? Oh I see, Carroll entered the game with a .438 average the writer notes. Ok, then this article might have been written before Guzman became injured.

Promotions:
Saturday June 25: Floppy Hat night. (vs. Toronto).
Thursday July 21: Umbrella night. (vs. Houston).
Friday August 5: 6-pack cooler night. (vs. San Diego).
Saturday October 1: Team photos and 2006 schedules. (vs. Philadelphia).
