Some people may be ok with a hitter posting a batting average below .250 but I’m not one of them. Carlos Quentin came out of nowhere for a huge season in 2008 but has failed to play close to those numbers since. View and VoteRead Full Story
Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Carlos Quentin will likely be the first White Sox player traded. This comes as no surprise to me, as I predicted pretty much everything Rosthenal is projecting. You can read my previous analysis here .Read Full Story
The Sox were trailing 8-5 in the bottom of the 8th, and I figured on a day like this, I shouldn’t even bother to put on my rally cap. We seemed to be working with our scraps and leftovers in the field and at bat, and the scoreboard showed it. Minor Leaguer Richard was our pitcher, Toby Hall was catching, and Crede was still out (and he may be out for awhile). Paired with questionable hitting, how were we going to pull off a win?

The Padres traded a pair of AAA pitchers, Simon Castro and Pedro Hernandez, to the White Sox for Outfielder Carlos Quentin.
I am a little surprised that this was all Chicago got, Castro has kind of stagnated as a prospect and Hernandez isn't one, while Quentin has hit 20 HR the last four years while missing quite a bit of time to random injuries.
It's also odd to see the Padres adding salary based on their other moves this offseason, as...
Over the weekend, the Padres acquired outfielder Carlos Quentin from the White Sox in exchange for a pair of prospects, and in the process, created something of a logjam of outfielders from players remaining on their roster. Quentin is expected to take over as the regular left fielder next to Cameron Maybin, and his presence [...]--
