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...

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...

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. At first glance, the move doesn’t make much sense for the Padres. Quentin’s attributes may not translate to the spacious PETCO Park and he is about to enter his final year under team control. Further, the Padres...

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...

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

Calm down, White Sox fans. I – like many others – was away for the New Year’s holiday, but that didn’t stop Kenny Williams from making a move. 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...

What To Expect from Carlos Quentin in PETCO Park

Determining what a player can do is always a tricky task. The great thing is that if you do it accurately, you’ll look like a genius, and if you make the wrong call, nobody will call you on it, so long as you sounded like you knew what you were talking about. Hopefully I’ll accomplish the former as I weigh in on Carlos Quentin’s 2012 campaign. There are a number...

The Red Sox Want Carlos Quentin From White Sox

The Red Sox are looking for a bat, not surprised. Even though they have all these problems in the rotation, they’re looking like they want to just beat teams 10-9 every game. Good for them. One of their main targets is supposedly Carlos Quentin. The Red Sox tried to trade for Carlos Quentin last year at the deadline, but weren’t successful. I believe if the Red Sox want...

Cactus League countdown: Chicago White Sox

It's easy to see why Chicago White Sox fans might struggle to get excited about the 2012 season. The organization gave them little reason to think it is serious about contending this summer.

Fantasy Impact: Quentin to San Diego

The San Diego Padres traded two middling prospects to the Chicago White Sox for oft-injured, power-heavy outfielder Carlos Quentin. This shouldn’t come as much surprise, but this move immediately decreases Quentin’s fantasy value. First, while San Diego does have a reputation as a pitcher-friendly park (and it is) it plays as a 95 for right-handed home run power according...
