Newsbreakers

October 9, 2009

The Chicago Tribune reports that Carlos Quentin underwent successful surgery to remove a pin from his wrist and visited a foot doctor to re-examine his ailing left foot.

Our View:

The doctor found no abnormalities and Quentin was cleared to proceed with his offseason conditioning. He will begin swinging a bat in 30 days and looks to be 100 percent healthy at the start of spring training. With all Quentin's ailments behind him, expect him to have a season more like 2008 that the disappointing showing he had this year.

October 5, 2009

Carlos Quentin is slated for surgery Tuesday to remove a pin from his surgically repaired right wrist, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

The Tribune also suggests that the star outfielder could benefit from a slight weight loss to take stress off his leg, namely his left foot.

October 3, 2009

Carlos Quentin double and homered in the White Sox 5-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Our View:

Quentin was 2-for-3 on the day and also scored two runs and stole his third base of the season. His injuries must have finally subsided because the slugger has homers in back to back games and four in his last five contests.

October 2, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 2-for-4 with two RBI in tonight's 8-0 win at Detroit. He hit a single and a solo homer off Edwin Jackson.

Our View:

Quentin blasted a homer in three of his last four games, and reached 20 for 2009.

September 27, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI on Sunday, helping the White Sox to an 8-4 win over Detroit at home.

Our View:

He now has seven RBI in his past two games, and 18 for the month of September. Encouraging signs for the White Sox after he struggled for much of 2010.

September 26, 2009

Carlos Quentin hit a three-run homer in the 4th inning on Saturday, but it wasn't enough as the Sox got blown out by the Tigers 12-5.

Our View:

Quentin has three homers and 14 RBI this month, but is hitting just .250. Still, that doesn't seem so bad considering his average on the season is just .233. He'll be happy when this injury plagued season is in the books and he can start fresh next year.

September 19, 2009

Carlos Quentin crushed a grand slam in the fifth inning of Saturday's 13-3 pounding of the Royals. He was 2-for-4 on the day.

Our View:

Quentin hasn't exactly sizzled in September. He's hitting just .269 with two homers and ten RBI on the month, and most of that came from Saturday's big swing.

September 17, 2009

The Chicago Tribune reports that Carlos Quentin is not in the lineup for the White Sox on Thursday.

Our View:

Quentin is healthy, he's just getting a routine day off before the Sox open a nine-game home stand where he'll likely play all the games.

September 13, 2009

Carlos Quentin provided the offense for the White Sox on Sunday but it wasn't enough. He drove in two with a 1-for-4 effort, but Chicago fell 3-2 to the Angels.

Our View:

Quentin just can't seem to get it going at the plate since returning from injury this season. He hasn't hit .300 by a long shot in any month this year and in September he's hit just one home run and had only driven in four runs all month before Sunday's two-RBI game.

September 7, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, a run scored, and two RBI on Monday as the White Sox defeated the Red Sox by a score of 5-1.

Our View:

Quentin has 16 homers on the season, which is pretty impressive considering he missed significant time due to injury. He is finally healthy, and he should continue to produce as the Sox make their final push.

August 27, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off Junichi Tazawa in tonight's 9-5 win at Boston.

Our View:

Quentin launched his fifth homer of August, and his 15th of 2009. He has a hit in nine of his last 10 games as well.

August 22, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 1-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI in the White Sox's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

Our View:

Quentin has been slowed by injury as of late, and he has not put up the huge numbers he did last season with the team. Quentin is now hitting .233 on the season, and fantasy owners should make sure they don't play him in front of a better player just because of the season he had last year.

August 22, 2009

Carlos Quentin is in the White Sox lineup Saturday night against the Orioles, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Quentin had sat out the last two games to rest his recovering left foot. After driving in 100 runs a season ago, Quentin is hitting just .231 in 65 games this season.

August 11, 2009

Carlos Quentin performed well in tonight's 6-4 loss at Seattle, as he went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Both of his hits were doubles.

Our View:

Quentin has a hit in four straight games, and is batting .357 (10-for-28) with six RBI this month.

August 6, 2009

According to the Chicago Tribune, Carlos Quentin is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

Our View:

Nothing to worry about. Quentin is just getting a regular day of rest, as his aching heels could likely use it. He should be back in the lineup tomorrow.

July 31, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in tonight' 10-5 win over the Yankees at U.S. Cellular Field. He hit a double and a solo homer off Sergio Mitre.

Our View:

Quentin hit a homer in two of his last three games, and ends July on a high note. Hopefully he will stay healthy and come through as a solid source for power next month.

July 24, 2009

Carlos Quentin had a nice afternoon on Friday, but the White Sox fell to the Tigers by a score of 5-1. Quentin went 2-for-3 with a double in the game.

Our View:

Quentin looks pretty good after his return from injury, and when he is healthy he is still an elite hitter. Don't expect the major home run power that he showed last year, but overall he can be a very solid fantasy outfielder going forward in the second half.

July 21, 2009

According to MLB.com, White Sox' manager Ozzie Guillen removed outfielder Carlos Quentin in the ninth inning of Monday's game for defensive purposes. Guillen plans to be cautious with Quentin as he continues to recover from plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Our View:

Quentin has already missed two months of the season, and Guillen doesn't want to take any chances with him right now. Expect Quentin to get periodic days off and to be replaced later in games for the next few weeks or so. He may miss out on a few at-bats, but overall it will have no effect on his fantasy value.

July 20, 2009

Carlos Quentin (foot) went 1-for-4 in his return from the DL for the White Sox on Monday.

Our View:

Quentin was the clear front-runner for MVP last year before getting hurt and could be a fine offensive contributor going forward. Be patient, as it may take him a few games to get back to form.

July 20, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that the Chicago White Sox have activated outfielder Carlos Quentin off the DL. Quentin is in the team's lineup for their Monday night game against the Rays. In a corresponding move, the team optioned outfielder Brian Anderson to Triple-A Charlotte.

Our View:

It had been rumored that Quentin wouldn't be ready to be activated when he rehab stint ended at the end of the week, but apparently he is feeling good enough to rejoin the team tonight. He may still be a little banged up, but he could be a nice boost for those of you who held onto him.

July 16, 2009

ESPN.com is reporting that injured White Sox' outfielder Carlos Quentin has been reassigned from Single-A to Triple-A and that he is scheduled to start in the outfield on Thursday night. If Quentin doesn't suffer any setbacks over the next few days, he could return to the White Sox' lineup soon.

Our View:

Quentin needs to show he is capable of playing the outfield for nine innings, and if he can do that successfully over the next few days he could return as soon as next week. We will keep you updated on his status, but it looks like a return in near.

July 15, 2009

The Chicago Tribune reports that Carlos Quentin went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks in a Class-A rehab game on Tuesday.

Our View:

Quentin, who is recovering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot, also played six innings in left field in the game. This is an encouraging sign and Quentin should be back with the Sox in the near future.

July 14, 2009

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that White Sox' outfielder Carlos Quentin went 1-for-2 in his first rehab start on Monday night at Single-A Kannapolis. He was supposed to play left field, but he served as the DH after the game was delayed by rain.

Our View:

The Sox probably wish he could have played the field, but the fact that he is playing at all is encouraging. Quentin should return to the lineup at some point in the near future, but don't expect him to put up the numbers he did last season. He will be dealing with this foot injury all season.

July 9, 2009

The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that White Sox' outfielder Carlos Quentin is not expected to return to the team for a while. Quentin is 4-for-8 in his first three rehab games, but coaches believe he is still having trouble running.

Our View:

The Sox were hopeful they would have Quentin by the weekend, but it looks like it will be after the All-Star break for sure at this point. He will probably not be 100 percent for most of the year, but he is worth keeping on your roster and activating when he returns.

July 5, 2009

Carlos Quentin (foot) went 2-for-2 with a walk in the second outing of his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Quentin will play his next game with Charlotte Monday from the DH spot. He could return to Chicago before the All-Star break, barring a setback.

July 3, 2009

According to the Chicago Tribune, injured slugger Carlos Quentin has been sent on a rehab assignment.

Our View:

No word on where Quentin headed, but his team locker was empty. The team has been very cautious about predicting when he'll return, but a rehab assignment is always a good sign. Keep Quentin stashed on your roster, as it looks like he may be available soon.

July 2, 2009

According to the Chicago Tribune, injured outfielder Carlos Quentin is "getting closer" and could be headed for a Minor League rehab assignment in the near future.

Our View:

Quentin, out since May 26 with Plantar fasciitis, has been improving and could return shortly after the All Star break. He will likely have a lengthy rehab stint, where he will be put through a program to see if his feet can with stand the rigors of running, hitting and playing the outfield. All signs so far have been optimistic. Keep him stashed on your rosters for now.

June 29, 2009

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that White Sox' outfielder Carlos Quentin took early batting practice before Monday's game. Quentin ended his session by hitting several deep balls into right, and he then proceeded to head to the outfield for agility drills.

Our View:

The news coming out of Chicago regarding Quentin has been good for the last couple of days. It sounds like he is getting close to a return, and assuming he doesn't have a setback, he could be back in the lineup sometime within the next few weeks.

June 26, 2009

Carlos Quentin is progressing in his recovery from his left foot ailment, according to MLB.com. Quentin ran the bases, fielded some grounders and engaged in batting practice today, and he said, "I was a little winded, but it went well. Nothing spiked or elevated as far as the pain. It was kind of a dull ache, and that is what we expected, so we will go from there."

Our View:

Quentin remains optimistic of returning to Chicago at some point around the All-Star break. The slugger shall remain patiently stashed on fantasy rosters.

June 24, 2009

According to the Chicago Tribune, White Sox GMn Kenny Williamson is not impressed with where Carlos Quentin is in his rehab.

Our View:

Quentin's plantar fasciitis is not healing as well as expected and apparently he still looks awkward while running. Williams said, "I have not asked the question recently because he's not close enough to where I need to start paying attention to our roster and our decisions regarding our roster." Sounds like he won't be ready for a while.

June 21, 2009

According to the Chicago Tribune, injured outfielder Carlos Quentin (plantar fasciitis) is moving a round better, but still needs to wear a protective boot after workouts.

Our View:

Sounds like Quentin is still a ways off. Plantar fasciitis is a lingering ailment and even when he returns to the lineup it may still very well affect his performance. Still, keep him stashed on your roster as his potential is worth the risk.

June 16, 2009

Carlos Quentin did some jogging and took batting practice Tuesday while recovering from his foot ailment, according to the Daily Herald.

Our View:

The Sox don't expect Quentin to return until after the All-Star break. There is no set timetable, but GM Kenny Williams if hopeful Quentin will be back in action before mid-July. The slugger shall remain patiently stashed on fantasy rosters.

June 10, 2009

The Chicago Tribune reports that manager Ozzie Guillen does not believe Carlos Quentin will be available until the all-star break. He reports that Quentin tore a tendon in his foot on May 25 and just recently began jogging.

Our View:

This is tough news for Quentin owners as he was eligible to return this week. It now appears as though he will miss another month. Scott Podsednik and Brian Anderson will fill in for him until he is able to return.

June 9, 2009

Carlos Quentin, suffering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot, does not believe he will be ready to be activated from the disabled list when he is eligible on Wednesday according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Quentin has not played since May 25. After his breakout year in 2008, he is hitting only .229 in 38 games this season. He has still hit 8 home runs and gathered 29 RBIs though, and should remain a decent fantasy option once he returns from the DL.

June 6, 2009

According to the Chicago Tribune, the plantar fasciitis in Carlos Quentin's foot is improving.

Our View:

There is still no return date for 2008's surprise slugger, but he's been taking swings and says that with each passing day the injury is getting better. Quentin's return would mean a big boost to the White Sox offense and fantasy rosters as well.

May 29, 2009

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the White Sox have placed Carlos Quentin on the 15-day DL with plantar fasciitis. The move is retroactive to May 26.

Our View:

Quentin was sent back to Chicago for tests earlier this week, and it is apparent that he did not pass. The team activated DeWayne Wise in the corresponding move, but expect Quentin to be out for the next two weeks or so.

May 26, 2009

Carlos Quentin has been sent back to Chicago to have his left foot examined by doctors, according to the Chicago Tribune. Quentin is expected to be out until at least Monday.

Our View:

Quentin could be heading to the DL, but the team will wait to find out the results of his tests. Manage Ozzie Guillen seems concerned, so owners should prepare to be without him, at least until Monday.

May 25, 2009

Carlos Quentin hit an RBI double in his first at bat on Monday against the Angels, but he irritated his plantar fasciitis injury while running the bases. He was lifted for pinch-runner Brian Anderson.

Our View:

Quentin has already missed a week's worth of action due to the injury, and he could be looking at some more missed time. This type of injury tends to linger so it may be wise to keep him out of your lineups until he returns to the starting lineup.

May 22, 2009

Carlos Quentin will serve as the White Sox DH on Friday night, according to the Chicago Tribune. He has missed a week's worth of action due to plantar fasciitis. He has been fitted with insoles to ease the pain.

Our View:

Quentin remains a major source of power, but his batting average is a mere .233. This type of injury tends to linger without exceptional rest. Hopefully, Quentin can play through any remaining pain for the remainder of the season.

May 21, 2009

Carlos Quentin feels ready to play for today's game against Minnesota, according to the Chicago Tribune. He has been recovering from a foot/heel ailment.

Our View:

He also is hoping to return to his starting spot in left field Friday. When Quentin comes back, Scott Podsednik and Brian Anderson will share playing time in center field.

May 20, 2009

Carlos Quentin is expected to miss another game Wednesday while still recovering from a sore left foot/heel, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Quentin may be able to pinch hit, but cannot yet return to his post in left field. He is considered day-to-day, and the slugger should remain held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.

May 19, 2009

Carlos Quentin will miss another game Tuesday while recovering from a sore left foot/heel, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Scott Podsednik will replace him in left field when the Sox start a series with the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field. It is uncertain when Quentin may return, and should remain held out of fantasy lineups until further notice.

May 18, 2009

Outfielder Carlos Quentin (heel) is out of the lineup again for Monday's game in Toronto. He returned to Chicago on Sunday to receive shockwave treatment on his sore left heel/foot.

Our View:

We are waiting to hear another update on the injured slugger. The Sox didn't seem to be too worried about this heel problem last week, but it continues to linger. We can't help but wonder if this is a bigger deal than everyone is letting on.

May 17, 2009

Carlos Quentin is expected to return to Chicago to receive treatment on his sore left foot, according to the Chicago Tribune. The pain has moved from his heel to the mid-foot area.

Our View:

He will not play today at Toronto, but the Sox do not expect him to miss significant time, and noted that the ailment did not get worse. Scott Podsednik is covering left field today in his place.

May 16, 2009

After being originally slated to hit sixth in Saturday's contest, Carlos Quentin was a late scratch.

Our View:

Quentin has been bothered by a sore heel lately and it likely flared up enough to yank him from the lineup. We'll update his status as soon as we know the extent of the injury.

May 13, 2009

Carlos Quentin, who injured his left heel during the first game of a doubleheader on April 28, said that a cortisone shot made him feel better and he expects to return to the diamond Friday night at Toronto, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Friday is the same estimate the Sox set for his return. The slugger has launched eight homers over 26 outings so far this season, with five hit away from U.S. Cellular Field.

May 12, 2009

According to the Miami Herald, Carlos Quentin was a late scratch in Tuesday's game due to an injured heel.

Our View:

The White Sox expect Quentin to be out until Friday, as the heel has been bothering him quite a bit lately. He's been playing through the pain, but needs a few days off. Hopefully he heats up when he returns to the lineup. He's hitting just .237 on the season.

May 9, 2009

Carlos Quentin broke out a bit on Saturday with two doubles and an RBI in three trips as the White Sox nipped the Rangers 3-2.

Our View:

Quentin broke out of an 0-for-8 skid with tonight's performance and fantasy owners are hoping this gets him back on track. Before tonight's game his avaerage had slipped to .233.

April 29, 2009

Carlos Quentin hammered out his eighth home run of the season in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mariners. He finished the game 2-for-3 with two RBI and a double.

Our View:

Eight of Quentin's 19 hits have left the ballpark. He is hitting just .253 but he has been a phenomenal source of power in the early going.

April 26, 2009

Carlos Quentin was just 1-for-4 on Sunday in Chicago's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays. His average is sitting at a pedestrian .246.

Our View:

The big worry with Quentin was that his power would disappear after the wrist injury, which clearly hasn't happened. But the new concern is his extremely low average. Nearly half of his hits are home runs, so if he's not going deep, he's not doing much of anything.

April 24, 2009

Carlos Quentin is back in the lineup for the White Sox after being hit in the hand with a pitch on Thursday, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

The X-rays were negative on Quentin's hand, so he is safe to deploy in all fantasy leagues. Quentin has seven home runs on the young season, proving his huge 2008 campaign wasn't a fluke.

April 24, 2009

Carlos Quentin suffered a bruised left hand in the eighth inning of Thursday's battle with Baltimore, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Quentin thinks he will be fine, but will be re-evaluated today as a precaution. X-rays will be taken if deemed necessary.

April 19, 2009

Carlos Quentin hit his seventh home run of the season in Sunday's 12-2 win over the Rays. It was his only hit in four at bats, and he finished with two RBI.

Our View:

Quentin has hit a home run in three straight games and it looks as if he has picked up where he left off last season. Obviously that's pretty great news for his fantasy owners as he was in line to win the AL MVP before suffering a broken wrist in September.

April 18, 2009

Carlos Quentin had a big day at the dish on Saturday as the White Sox downed the Rays 8-3. He was 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. The homer was his sixth.

Our View:

Quentin has now homered in back-to-back games and looks like the premier power hitter of last season. Concerns of his power being sapped by a wrist injury (see Derrek Lee) and no longer an issue. He's gotten the average up too, hitting .308.

April 17, 2009

Outfielder Carlos Quentin socked his fifth homer of the season on Friday night. It was a solo shot and his only hit against the Rays.

Our View:

Quentin is only batting .257 thus far, but we're not worried about his average. We had some lingering concerns about his power coming back this season. Those worried have been erased.

April 14, 2009

The White Sox game at Detroit today has been postponed due to rain.

Our View:

We will keep you posted when a makeup date is set.

April 13, 2009

Carlos Quentin went 3-for-4 with four RBI in Monday's 10-6 win over the Tigers at Comerica Park. He hit a single and two homers.

Our View:

Quentin now has four homers and eight RBI over the first seven games of the season. The Sox passed the Tigers for the lead in the AL Central standings, and handed them their first loss at home.

April 11, 2009

Carlos Quentin was 2-for-4 with a home run on Saturday as the White Sox whipped the Twins 8-0. The home run was his second in as many games.

Our View:

Qentin got off to a slow start, but appears to be figuring it out. There was concern that the wrist injury he suffered at the end of last season would sap his power, but he looks to be snuffing out any doubt that he lost his pop.

March 25, 2009

Carlos Quentin had a rough day at the plate Wednesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and left four runners stranded. He's now hitting .264.

Our View:

There are still concerns about Quentin's power being sapped by a wrist injury last season, and he's having a rough spring, but he's still a very talented player and should be a lock to reach the century mark in RBI if he stays healthy.

March 22, 2009

Carlos Quentin hit his second home run of the spring on a 2-for-3 day against the A's. He also had a double to go with two runs scored and four RBI.

Our View:

Quentin's first home run came on Thursday, but prior to that, he was missing the pop that made him such a breakout star last season. He will hit in the heart of the White Sox order in 2009 and should easily reach 100 RBI if healthy.

March 19, 2009

Carlos Quentin hit his first home run of the spring in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Giants. The solo shot was his only hit in four at-bats.

Our View:

Quentin's lack of power this spring has raised some concerns regarding how much he had lost after his left wrist surgery. He hit 36 round-trippers in just 480 at-bats a year ago, but it seems unlikely he will return to that rate in 2009.

March 15, 2009

Carlos Quentin was 2-for-6 with a triple, four RBI, and two runs scored as the White Sox beat the Mariners 15-5 on Sunday. He played all nine innings in left field.

Our View:

In 33 at-bats this spring, Quentin has yet to go deep and we're starting to believe that maybe the wrist surgery he had did in fact zap a little of his power. In only 480 at-bats last season, he belted 36 home runs. A lot of his value comes from playing at The Cell, and that won't change. However, it is unlikely he hits four-baggers with such regularity this season.

March 9, 2009

Carlos Quentin is still struggling for the White Sox, going 0-for-2 with a walk on Monday.

Our View:

Quentin has been held to a .222 average this spring and may take a bit longer to regain his form from last season than previously hoped.

March 5, 2009

Carlos Quentin was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers. Slumping for most of the spring, he raised his average to .214.

Our View:

It's nice to see Quentin start hitting. However, fantasy mavins are still waiting to find out if that wrist injury sapped his power. If healthy, Quentin will rake.

February 25, 2009

Carlos Quentin signed a one-year deal with the White Sox on Wednesday worth $550,000, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:

Quentin was a top candidate for the AL MVP before a wrist injury forced him to miss the last month of the season in 2008. He's expected to be a big part of the White Sox lineup in 2009, assuming his power remains the same.

February 16, 2009

MLB.com reports that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen believes that slugger Carlos Quentin will avoid a sophomore slump with the team because he hits to all fields, has a good batting eye, and will not be relied upon to carry the team's offense.

Our View:

Sophomore slump? By our count, this will be his fourth season in the majors. Perhaps Ozzie was referencing the fact that it is just his second season with the White Sox. Our concern is the nature of his wrist injury and whether or not his explosive power will still be evident. To date, he has not reported any limitations.

January 30, 2009

Carlos Quentin will be ready for spring training, according to the Associated Press. Quentin broke his wrist in September, which required him to have surgery and forced him to miss the remainder of the season, including the playoffs.

Our View:

Quentin will certainly be hot commodity in fantasy this year after he cranked 36 home runs and 100 RBI in just 480 at-bats while hitting .288.

January 28, 2009

The Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox have the right to remove Carlos Quentin from the World Baseball Classic if he were to make the team. He is currently slated to train with Team USA.

Our View:

Quentin broke his wrist in September, which derailed him from a possible MVP award. He has been hitting since November and he is expected to be at full strength.
