RHP Fausto Carmona was 19-8 with a 3.06 ERA in 2007. Since then he is 13-19, with a 5.89 ERA. The 2010 season will be a pivotal one for Carmona's career. He's expected to come to training camp and compete for a spot in the starting rotation, but it's not out of the question that he could wind up in the bullpen. "He's a guy who is out of options going into next year, so we feel he'll have some role on the team," said assistant general manager Chris Antonetti.
