The Padres have acquired Carlos Quentin from the White Sox for pitching prospects RHP Simon Castro (23) and LHP Pedro Hernandez (22).

Not unexpected with th emergence of Dayan Viciedo. Both pitchers were in AAA last year. Hernandez looks to be the better of the two.

edit: Castro was rated as the teams 3rd best prospect last season and was BA's 57th ranked prospect in 2010 and 58th in 2011. He had a down 2011 in AA and AAA (7-8 5.63 ERA). Hopefully he can regain the stuff that made him such a highly regarded prospect.

Early word from scouts is that both prospects from Padres to White Sox don't have much upside. So for CWS, a payroll move, in part.

Hawk will be comparing them to Drysdale & Koufax by spring training. :lol:

Kenny freeing up some money to sign Yoennis Céspedes.

I have no idea. The worst team I've thought they had starting a season in the past ten years won the World Series.

There is room for only one Castro in Chicago, and it isn't this one.

Lillibridge to right or left? He needs to play everyday

I have no idea. The worst team I've thought they had starting a season in the past ten years won the World Series.

So you think he cant put up Pierre/Rios numbers? He's got a little pop and he can run. I'm thinkin yer not a De Aza guy. For this team, Lillibridge has to play everyday. WHo else ya got? They arent getting anyone else.

This is just removing one more roadblock holding up the major league debut of Kenneth Williams.

Thought he'd have more value than these guys. Wow. Of course we are talking about "Kenny" here.

Per KW Kenny can see BOTH players pitching in the Majors THIS YEAR, Castro reminds him of Contreras *All per Cowley on Twitter

Are you sure about that? Castro started the futures game in 2010 and was one of the top prospects in all of baseball. His mechanics fell apart in 2011 and you are on record as saying the Sox organization and Don Cooper are very good at 'fixing' pitchers. I would think you of all people would LOVE this trade. The Sox got a possible ace for an injury prone streaky hitter who is 1 year from free agency.

Mr. Belvidere wrote: Lillibridge to right or left? He needs to play everyday No. He is not a guy you want playing everyday. He is a nice piece to have on the bench, but if he plays everyday he will be exposed as a bad player. He is like Mike Fontenot for the Cubs a few years back. He got some big hits as a bench guy and suddenly everyone wanted him to play everyday. He got that chance and then everyone saw how bad he really was.

WHo else ya got? They arent getting anyone else. No, he can't put up Pierre or Rios numbers over the long haul. If Lillibridge is playing in your outfield everyday, you've got serious problems. Hell, he's a guy who should be questionable to make the team, although his versatility will probably guarantee him a spot. I think the Sox figure De Aza earned a shot at the job, plus he's the only guy they have that looks anything like a traditional lead-off hitter. Barring any other moves that may affect the outfield, they're going with De Aza in center and Rios and Viciedo on the corners.
