He is an idiot. By every offensive metric, Carpenter was better offensively in 2013 than 2014. He's just conflating three hot games with the entire year.
Carpenter is a great player, but his bat profiles much better at second than third. At second, he's arguably the best 2B in baseball behind Cano. At third, he's still a very good player, but not elite.
That's why the Cardinals would be wise to continually gauge the trade market for Wong in a package deal that could net them a 3B.
