Carlos Quentin

[All The Hype]

Gotta be one of the most underrated players in all of baseball. He was on track to win the MVP before he went down with injury last year and he just crushed another bomb and is currently leading the league so far this year. I like this guy a lot, too bad he plays for the wrong team in Chicago

He plays for the right team!

He hurt himself though last year, that was just dumb.

Look if he stays healthy, he will have some monster stats.

Hopefully he goes to the Mets next year. I want him out of the division.

Agreed. He still had a huge final line last year despite missing a lot of time at the end of the year.

Sox will trade him to them before the end of July since they will be about 9-10 games out by then :lol:

Oh and I'm bringing this up in the first place because, well, he's carrying my fantasy team right now :lol:

Interestingly, he led the league in 'almost' home runs last year with something like 12-13 homers that just barely made it out.

That led many stat-head folks to conclude that his power numbers could easily dip this year from 35 ish to 25 ish based on nothing but luck alone.

Well he's already put up more homeruns in the first week than they were worried about him losing to bad luck.

I'd say he's for real, and we all need to get used to the idea that Carlos Quentin is a power hitting monster.

Yes if he did not hurt himself, and be out for the second half, he would have won the MVP and
the homerun title last season.

i honestly think if hadnt gotten hurt he would have taken the mvp. i wonder why he didnt put up these numbers in arizona. but anyway good for him

Great post. I think he's definitely legit, sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes to bring the best out of someone.

And luckily for Quentin, do you know what they call an almost homerun?





--A homerun.

It seems like a silly stat, but apparently you can predict players that will be up or down 5-10 homers based on the fact that they're typical hr distance is right at the fence line.

An unlucky wind pattern on the 10 days you were gonna hit 'close' homeruns means you go from a 32 homerun guy to a 22 homerun guy.

And the same goes in reverse,

Funny how dumb luck factors in.

Yeah that's really interesting actually, because when you think about it, it's true. If the guy is always hitting the ball 50 feet over the fence, he's got some room to work with.
