CARLOS QUENTIN RUMORS

3 Trades Braves Should Consider: Trade #2

By Jim Pratt Editor’s note: Earlier this week BravesWire writer, Jim Pratt, proposed the first of three trades he says the Braves should consider. See part-1 here. Sometimes an MLB franchise can get blinded in their quest to build for the future and are unable to take advantage of the here and now opportunity called “rental” players. That unwillingness to break tendencies can...

Carlos Quentin: Short-Term Solution for LF (That’s a good thing)

I had a trade-analysis article done. It was finished… But then Bud Black says that Carlos Quentin will be the Padres primary left-fielder. Scrap article and start over… In my first piece I argued that Quentin should play RF for the Padres thereby allowing Kyle Blanks to play LF thereby relegating Will Venable to either the bench or trade-bait status. But since the decision...

Making Sense of the Quentin Acquisition

The Padres acquired Carlos Quentin over the weekend by sending prospects Simon Castro and Pedro Hernandez to the can-anyone-tell-if-they-are-actually-rebuilding White Sox.

The Carlos Quentin Trade: Why Chicago White Sox Fans Shouldn’t Panic Yet

The White Sox GM shipped Carlos Quentin to the San Diego Padres for two minor league pitchers. Quentin, who is in his last year being under team control, would have been a free agent after the 2012 season. The off-season...

Padres Acquire A Major Bat

Happy New Year to you. It should be an especially happy time in San Diego. In picking up power hitting OF Carlos Quentin, the Padres just inched their way into credibility in a vastly improving National League West. Quentin represents a major bat in a previously quiet, (to say the least,) Padres lineup. He will add a big time threat in the middle of the batting order, a quality...
