Carpenter anxious about testing arm in spring

Chris Carpenter stated Saturday that his throwing is going well, his shoulder is strong, and that he's anxious about testing his arm during spring training.

Carpenter noted that he's had a normal offseason up to this point. It's important to note, however, that the veteran right-hander felt fully healthy heading into the 2012 season before the shoulder issues initially arose. If healthy, he'll represent a tremendous value in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts this season, but there is certainly a high risk of re-injury.
