Carlos Quentin missed over a month early in the season because of arthroscopic surgery on his right knee during spring training. When he returned, the San Diego Padres were a different team. Quentin added a power bat in the lineup, added protection, and brought leadership. He helped the Padres to a winning home record and a winning record in the second half of this season. However, he tweaked his knee again toward the end of the year and was limited to pinch-hitting duties for the final few weeks of the season. He has already underwent surgery to repair the knee again.
According to Corey Brock, beat writer for the San Diego Padres, Quentin had surgery yesterday.

Daily Friar 10.6.12
I wonder how long the new playoff scheme will continue after that debacle last night. Let's break it down: a blown call in a game that shouldn't really have to be played. The Braves were 6 games better than the Cardinals, and yet the Braves don't even get a chance at the divisional series. So let's move on to some Padres news, which isn't a whole lot. Because...
