| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2010-06-10 13:00:00 | Is Carlos Quentin done? He doesn't drive the ball very well and not too many of his flyballs have been leaving the park this year (Terrence from Mathis, GA) | I put Quentin in four-stars with the caveat that it assumed perfect health for him. He just hasn't looked like someone who is 100%, as far as his power is concerned. Lingering issues from the wrist sapping his power, perhaps? (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-02-02 13:00:00 | Though they haven't had much luck with Carlos Quentin, do you think Herm Schneider and his team will be able to keep Peavy healthy for 200+ innings? He looked superb in his last three starts of '09 and I salivate of having him, Floyd, Danks, Buehrle, and Hudson for all of 2010... (scott from chicago) | Yeah, it shold be interesting. The ChiSox THR is one everyone's going to want to see ... (Will Carroll) |
| 2009-07-01 14:00:00 | Which injured Chicago player ends up with a better year end line, Aramis or The Carlos Quentin? (JB from Fulton County) | Aramis. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2009-05-18 14:00:00 | Is Peavy too much to give up for Carlos Quentin in a keeper league? I'm in desperate need of power. (Mike from Niles, IL) | I'd think so, but that's in part because Quentin's track record for staying healthy is ghastly, and add in his HBP rates, and it's easy to see more bad things happening at some point down the road. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2009-04-13 14:00:00 | Carlos Quentin just went yard again. He is on pace to hit 100 HRs with that short LF porch at the Cell? But seriously, is he really this good? (Chad from Northbrook) | Once upon a time Quentin was #12 on our Top Prospect list, and last year he might have won the MVP if it weren't for him breaking his wrist. While playing in a homer-friendly park certainly pumps his stats a bit, he's a quality hitter who can play on my team. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2009-04-20 13:00:00 | In the last 5 years or so, the following statements have been generally true about the D-Backs: (1) they have had a lot of highly-touted hitting prospects in their minor league system, (2) those same prospects are currently having a lot of trouble putting runs on the board at the major league level, and (3) Carlos Quentin didn't take off until he landed in Chicago. If you had to speculate, what do you think is going on in the desert? (Randy from Ann Arbor, MI) | Do you have to look at Bob Melvin a little? His handling of Justin Upton this year sure is less than impressive, and he's got an affection for Tony Clark that's a little weird. Young players need to play, both for reps and so that they can develop without feeling that their career lives or dies on their next AB.
I don't know if Melvin is the cause of the stagnation of some of these guys, but I don't think he's helped them. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-04-16 13:00:00 | The Julio Lugo Award, for unluckest player. Between his "balls in play" numbers, injuries, and being replaced by not one, but two people who can't hit. I can't think of too many others up to his level.
Also, the Ian Kinsler/Chase Utley Award for injuries ruining MVP seasons. (Zac from Land of Milk and Honey) | Carlos Quentin feels like he got screwed out of that award despite being injured. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2009-03-19 15:00:00 | KG, spring training aside, do you think it's possible for Carlos Gonzalez to have a resurgence in Denver like Carlos Quentin did in Chicago? Was a change of scenery (again) all he needs to flourish? (Lasken from Savannah, GA) | He doesn't have that kind of power, but all the tools are there -- he's just going to have to make adjustments that he, for whatever reason, didn't seem to want to make last year. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-01-29 13:00:00 | Even though Carlos Quentin hurt himself last year, do you expect the same kind of numbers from him, or was last year a fluke? (Dan from Chicago) | Quentin had 12 homers that are under the "Just Enough" category over at Hit Tracker. He hits a lot of balls to left field, and Chicago's park is one of the better ones out there for people who hit for power in that direction. 21 of his homers came at home, and it looks like about 14-15 of them were hit to left or left-center. As long as he's in Chicago, I think he should be capable of putting up some big numbers, but the chance is there that he won't be as good as 2008 again, yes. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2008-10-17 13:00:00 | How do I improve my offense in the off season? (Kenny Williams from California) | Was there anything really wrong with it? It was predicated on the home run and I'd like to see more focus on some on-base guys, but I could say that about 20 teams. A healthy Carlos Quentin, a more experienced Alexei Ramirez, and hope that they can get similar performances from Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye is their big hope. That's going to be a really tough division next year and I think the Sox have more room to improve than most of the other teams there. (Will Carroll) |
| 2008-10-07 13:00:00 | The guy that Carlos Quentin was traded for, who subsequently went to the A's in the Haren package, hit over 40 home runs in the minors this year. Does the Quentin trade make sense today? (wayne from Lincoln) | Considering Quentin was just 25 this year, I think we can give them a free pass. The White Sox needed someone who could help them right now, as they have an aging roster that may not be relevant without a major overhaul by the time their departed prospects are ready to face major league pitching successfully. That's my take on why they did what they did, anyways. You could argue they should have tried to run with what they had and play out one of the last year's the offense may be relevant, but with the division so easily within reach, why not give it a shot? (Marc Normandin) |
| 2008-10-07 13:00:00 | Carlos Quentin & the 2008 White Sox World Series chances <==> Jim Rice & 1975 Red Sox World Series chances. (Tim from DC) | I'll buy that. The Red Sox came pretty close even without Rice though, while the White Sox kind of left as quickly as they came in.
Lightning round time, folks, as I have some things to get done today in preparation for the upcoming series. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2008-09-08 13:00:00 | Just a puncher's chance for the Twins? They get to play 6 against the Kansas City Forfeits, 3 against the Baltimore NeverWeres and 3 against the Cleveland DisabledList in addition to the 3 AT HOME they play against the White Sox...while the White Sox have to play 4 against the Toronto Eight-Wins-In-A-Row-With-Lind-And-Sniders, 4 in Yankee Stadium, in addition to the 3 played in the HumpDomeOfHorrors.
I think the Twins are even money to 6-5 favorites, especially with THE Carlos Quentin sidelined. (George W. from Mount Vernon, VA) | I might have undersold there, but I'd still rather be the team that has two and a half games in hand, than the one that's behind and pretty far back in the Wild Card.
Considering how low the expectations were for the post-Santana Twins, they've done a great job and are a great story. (Derek Jacques) |
| 2008-08-26 13:00:00 | How did Carlos Quentin miss the "Ultimate Fantasy Draft Top 50" as well as the honorable mention section? Do you really think that he will not be one of the best 63 players in baseball over the next 6 years? (uscellular91 from Chicago) | If I had to do it over again, I would probably have put Quentin on the HM list in place of someone like Clay Buchholz. So, my bad on that. But I don't think he's ready to crack the top 50. Pretty much everyone on that list either has multiple years of top-notch performance to back up their selection or plays a premium position -- Quentin does neither. (Nate Silver) |

4:13 p.m., from Jerry Crasnick
• Chris Capuano isn't the only left-handed starter on the Cardinals' shopping list. St. Louis has talked to Cleveland about Cliff Lee, with Anthony Reyes and/or catching prospect Bryan Anderson mentioned as possibilities to return to the Indians. Arizona recently talked to the Indians about Lee, but the teams don't look like a match anymore now that the Diamondbacks have traded outfielder Carlos Quentin to the White Sox.
(SC from Rochester) | Crasnick! Love that guy - knew I'd seen it somewhere, but I'm not an INsider, so much not be Googlable. (Is that a word?) (Will Carroll) |
| 2008-06-17 15:00:00 | What do you think of the Indians and Tigers playoff chances going forward? The Sox are anywhere from 55-70 percent favorites from the 3 BP odds reports. That sounds accurate to you? (colintj from a2) | Given where those three teams are right now and the underlying causes for how they got there, I think that sounds about right. Cleveland has lost Jake Westbrook for the season, they've lost Victor Martinez for awhile, Travis Hafner has joined the ranks of the undead, and Rafael Betancourt is looking pretty clammy and monosyllabic as well. Detroit is out Bonderman already, the rest of their rotation is a mess, we don't know how well their bullpen can hold up, and they have to dig their way out of a sizeable hole. Meanwhile in Chicago we've seen guys like Carlos Quentin, Alexei Ramirez, Gavin Floyd, and John Danks start to deliver on their promise even as the offense in general has underachieved. The Sox lead isn't insurmountable but given the run differentials and the injury situations I'd place my nickel on them. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2008-05-27 13:00:00 | Are the White Sox still just a 70 something win team? Or will they confound you guys like they did in "05? (petergill from Los Angeles) | Well, we had them at 77 or 78 wins. I think the Carlos Quentin breakout is largely real, and likewise with John Danks. But Gavin Floyd is walking on water to have maintained a 2.93 ERA in spite of a 25:27 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Give them 3-4 extra wins apiece for Quentin and Danks and you're talking about what's probably an 84-win club. It's not that hard for an 84-win club to make the playoffs with a little luck. (Nate Silver) |
| 2008-05-20 13:00:00 | We're over 25% through the season now, and Carlos Quentin is still mashing. I don't buy the 1.004 ops, but at what point do I have to accept that he's this good? (Ameer from Bloomington, IN) | It's time to accept the fact that he's going to be a good major-league hitter, if not necessarily a superstar as he's been thus far. Quentin was #27 on BP's top prospect list in 2006, the last time he was eligible. He had a good 2006, a lost 2007 due to injury, and now he's healthy and killing the ball. He's hitting in a park that favors offense and home runs, so he should putup some nice numbers. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2008-05-09 14:00:00 | Hey, Christina:
In a keeper would you trade Volstad for Carlos Quentin? I have much better SP than OF?
Thanks (Jim Clancy from Exhibition Stadium) | I'd keep Quentin. He's in a great park for him, with a manager who's taken a shine to him. The critical period has already passed; barring an 0-for-40 or something, he's going to have a fine multi-year run. (Christina Kahrl) |
| 2008-04-25 15:00:00 | White Sox: Fluke or for real? (Izzy from DC) | I'm not a huge believer in the White Sox, but it's clear that at least in the early going, two things are going very right. First, you've got the bouncebacks from Joe Crede and Carlos Quentin that have helped resurrect that offense while marginalizing some rather unproductive players. Second, them Gavin Floyd and John Danks appearing to have finally put it together. These were well-regarded pitching prospects who've taken a long time to live up to their billing, but with a good coach like Don Cooper it shouldn't be terribly surprising to see them make the kind of nonlinear jumps that pitchers do when they finally Get It Together. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2008-05-01 13:00:00 | I realize that Carlos Quentin probably won't hit like an MVP candidate for the rest of the year, but how much of this is real as I seem to remember as being a pretty decent prospect with the D Backs?
Also with Josh Fields continuing to have major issues with strikeouts even in AAA. might it make sense for the sox to try and trade him come the trade deadline and try and resign Crede? (tommy from chi town) | It's real. Quentin can rake, and only some injury problems have stood in his way. That was an excellent trade by Kenny Williams, one of the best of his tenure. I confess that I thought, initially, that it was the other Sox picking him up, just because it was a nice buy-low play. Williams has developed into a good GM--erratic, but on the whole, good. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-01-17 14:00:00 | In my strat league, I have Felix Pie and Carlos Quentin in reserve. Looking long term, if you had to move one of these 2, who would it be? (Strat Weenie Lou from Cape Cod) | Quentin, even if he's going to have the benefit of hitting to that short corner in left in the Cell. Just as in real life, it's always better to have a piece of Pie. (Christina Kahrl) |

|---|---|---|
| 2010-04-05 09:30:00 | Season Opener Roundtable | White Sox announcers and staff's pick to click today: Teahan, Rios, Kotsay. Um, I'll take the field. That said, Carlos Quentin laces a double in the first and while it might be opening day optimism, that's as comfortable and free as I've seen his swing since 08. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2008-09-29 10:30:00 | Tigers/White Sox Play-In Game | nschaef (Atlanta): When did the White Sox offense become this awful? About the time Carlos Quentin's .287/.394/.571 went on the shelf. That .400 OBP was in the 3-hole and replaced by Dye, and then you started seeing a lot of d-wise's sub-.300 OBP in the 2-hole a lot. (William Burke) |
