Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:10:00 -0500

When Carlos Quentin joined the White Sox last season he was a revelation. Quentin came to Chicago in a minor move by Kenny Williams via a trade with the Diamondbacks, a move that I openly mocked on this site, and ended up taking the city by storm.He wouldn't have even been playing if it hadn't been for an injury to Jerry Owens -- the best thing Jerry Owens ever did in a White Sox uniform -- that

Carlos Quentin expands on his injury: "We’re aware that if a relapse happens where the tendon ruptures even more, well that’s major. That’s something that’s going to take longer, maybe even the rest of the season. So we’re thinking that if that tendon goes, that’s a two to four-month recovery. Where we’re at in the baseball season, two-to-four really doesn’t work out as far as being able to play again this season. That’s more of the concern right now. "That’s the direction we ...

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:36:29 -0500

Carlos Quentin of the Chicago White Sox is off to another red hot start in 2009, and is proving what was obvious to all baseball observers last season: that Carlos Quentin is the most valuable player in the AL. Injuries cut his 2008 season short, and his chances to win the AL MVP. If Quentin can stay healthy for 162 games in 2009, he is showing that the award could very well be his this season, just as it would have been last year.

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 10:52:36 -0500

1. Ozzie Guillen Explosions-Between Magglio Ordonez, Jay Mariotti, and his incentive filled tirades; there is no doubt that White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen is a loose cannon.

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 20:12:42 -0500

Chicago White Sox right-hander Gavin Floyd agreed to a $15.5 million, four-year contract with a club option for 2013 on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. The 6’5, 230-pound 26-year-old starter had the best year of his career for the White Sox in 2008, going 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. In addition, he has gone 25-18 in 73 games over portions of five big league seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies and White Sox. Floyd will make $750,000 this year, $2.75 million in 2010, $5 million in 2011 and $7 million in 2012, and the White Sox hold a $9.5 million option for 2013. Floyd had been set to make $520,000 this year under a one-year deal agreed to Feb. 25. He would have been eligible for arbitration after this season and for free agency following the 2012 season. Fellow pitcher John Danks and outfielder Carlos Quentin were also approached by the team about multi-year deals following breakout campaigns last year, but only Floyd agreed to a deal.Evan Nuckles is a staff member of the Business of Sports Network, which includes The Biz of Baseball, The Biz of Football, The Biz of Basketball and The Biz of Hockey.

Risin' and Fallin'

Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:35:53 -0500

Risin' Carlos Quentin (OF - CWS) ? Ozzie Guillen didn't even know who this guy was when the Sox traded for him. Quentin's got a .293 average to go along with 14 home runs and 48 RBIs for the first place Pale Hose. Not bad for a guy who hit five homeruns in 81 games for the D-Backs last season. He's hitting in a lineup with a lot of pop around him, so his numbers should remain consistent. He's also the top AL All-Star write-in candidate, since he's not even on the ballot.
