Carlos Quentin was a solid right fielder at Stanford from 2001 to 2003.Even so, White Sox general manager Ken Williams said he would ask for Quentin's permission to move him from left field if there was a deal that would require Quentin to switch positions.Williams said he sought assurances last week from Gordon Beckham before acquiring Mark Teahen, which will cause Beckham to move from third base...

Among the many reasons to visit your local minor-league ballpark (the charm, the ridiculously cheap seats behind home plate, etc.) is the possibility of witnessing future greatness. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to catch several big-league stars in action before most people had heard of them: Jay Buhner, Jake Peavy, Carlos Quentin, [...]

... .849 OPS fueled largely by his .402 career OBP. Johnson also allows us to rotate Paul Konerko and Carlos Quentin in at DH as well. He does come with injury-risks, but using him mainly as a DH in combination with one of the premier medical staffs in baseball should counteract that. The injury risk combined with the down market should allow the Sox to grab him at a reasonable price...

•WORTH NOTING: His 23 home runs in 2007 were the third-highest total for a rookie in White Sox history. … Played third base as a rookie because of injury to Joe Crede and was ticketed for duty in left field in 2008 until White Sox acquired Carlos Quentin from Arizona. … Began last season as starting third baseman but lost job through poor performance to rookie Gordon Beckham. … Underwent...

... could play there. Or, Figgins could float to center, which would move Alex Rios to left and Carlos Quentin to right. And, if Johnny Damon is really in the loop for the Sox, Teahen would obviously stay at third, and Damon fills in for Figgins in the outfield scenario.

... power. As of now the only two outfielders we know will be back on the south side next season are Carlos Quentin and Alex Rios. While we don't know for sure the fate of Jermaine Dye, I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say he's not going to be coming back next season. Which means that Quentin could be moving from left field to right field. Especially if the Sox are...

PHILADELPHIA -- The White Sox have choices to make in an outfield that currently has only two 2009 regulars -- Carlos Quentin and Alex Rios -- signed for 2010. The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo believes the Yankees' Johnny Damon, a free agent after the World Series, would be a good fit. I'm not sure the Sox have the flexibility to pursue guys like Damon and Bobby Abreu after splurging on...

... family,'' once again came under fire by the fans this season, especially in the second half when Carlos Quentin came back from injury looking lost at the plate, Jermaine Dye went into a second-half rut and the Alex Rios experiment seemed to blow up in the entire club's face. Forgotten in that mess was A.J. Pierzynski putting together a career year, rookie Gordon Beckham being rescued...
