I realize the guy is a productive hitter, but his D has been bothering me all season. One of these misreads and missed throws are going to cost the good guys an important game at some point. |

Hopefully we'll be enough games in front of the division when that happens. |

I thought the same thing earlier in the year but was told by someone on the board that he (Quentin) has a rifle (also used cannon) arm and catches everything. He's grown on me but I still just think he's average. I'm just happy we don't have Peter Pan out in left field anymore. |

His anticipation doesn't seem to be adequate. I was in the left field seats by the bullpen the other day and could tell that , like Rowand, he is a split second late when he charges for fly balls. |

If I'm not mistaken, Carlos Quentin underwent shoulder surgery before he got traded to the White Sox from the Arizona Diamondbacks in the offseason. The bad throws he's made, I think, have been the result of that surgery. After a closer examination of his batting stance, he resembles a certain someone who played briefly for the Sox before ratting out certain players in the ongoing steroid probe...Jose Canseco. It may be a tad lower for Carlos, but they appear very similar in stance. |

omg quentin totally uses steroids all the time and that's the only reason he's good also his defense sucks let's trade him for some beanpole slap hitter who steals a lot of bases /slitwrists |

No, no, no! I didn't say Quentin uses steroids, but his batting stance is similar to that of Canseco, only a little lower. |
