"My name is Drew and I want to be your next Kendrick." That was rookie Andrew Carpenter yesterday, a finesse righty, who earned a heap of attention for how he pitched against the Yankees. A 19-game winner last year for Single-A Clearwater, Carpenter was not invited to the major league spring training camp this year. Meanwhile, the hunt for bullpen help goes on.
