Matt Carpenter delivering on sleeper promise

Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter was touted as a sleeper during Fantasy drafts, and has delivered on that promise through the season's first two weeks.

Due to an early injury to David Freese, Carpenter has already seen time at third and second base this season. In many leagues, he also has eligibility at first and in the outfield. While his bat profiles much better at second, he can also be used at third considering the lack of talent at the position to start the year. 

It's unclear how good Carpenter will be over the full course of a season, as he's never done it before. But given the lack of talent at second and third, he'll have some value even if he's just an average player going forward.
