Carpenter may return as Nats TV voicenationals.com

If I’m Carpenter, I’d say two years or nothing. Oh and at a significantly higher salary as well. This was handled very poorly by the front office and he owes them nothing

Of course, I was generally indifferent to his play-by-play. Some liked him, some didn’t and he was great to bloggers.
