Good deal, change is a comin.

Re: Carlos Quentin to the Padres for Simon Castro+

Wow, other than injuries, Quentin has been a beast for the Sox. Seems odd that they'd get rid of him when they have a team that should contend again this year.

Kenny is rebuilding; he isn't planning to contend.

:?: they contended last season

Kenny is rebuilding; he isn't planning to contend.

And what he just said

 

[nosterbor]

Payroll dump, just like the Cubs.Both Chicago baseball teams will win nothing in the next 100 years.Soooo stop watching and stop going to the games.

 

[jamesodo]

If anyone has a 2008 Stadium Club Carlos Quinten /999 this is a great time to sell high. To me.

 

[padremurph]

Nice move, I approve.

The Tigers ran away with it in the last month or so, but up until that point the Sox were right there with the Indians in 2nd/3rd place hanging around only like 3-5 games back of Detroit.

But yes, looks like they're changing their focus to rebuilding.

I am a huge Carlos Quentin fan and collector, just check out my bucket.
I knew this day would come and I am a little dissappointed in this deal. Trading a Beast of a hitter at times for 2 prospects that are not on the top ten list. The Sox can still contend in this division. I can see trading Quentin to make a spot in the outfield for Dayan Viciedo. The outfield will potentially be DeAza, Rios and Viciedo. I wouldn't call what Kenny Williams is "Rebuilding" even though he called it that but many other Sox Staff and sources say they are not "Rebuilding" but rather re-tooling.

Question for Player/Team Collectors:
What happens when your favorite player on your team gets traded? Do you still collect the player?
I am now having a hard time on deciding what to do with my Quentin Collection.

 

[longbomberz]

He has been pretty productive when healthy but he's missed a 1/3 of each of the past 2 seasons and is going into free agency after this one. I liked having him on the Sox but not terribly torn up about the trade.

Yes but only the cards of him in the uni pre-trade. Makes the collection easier

if he is your "favorite" player then you will collect him no matter where he plays.. there is no team loyalty in baseball so you learn to accept that and move on.

I hear what you are saying. I guess he is not my "favorite player" but I guess a player I liked alot and liked to collect. I just finished uploading my photobucket last night with all my recent carlos quentin cards. What are the odds he gets traded the next day.
I've decide to part ways with some of the cards I have multiples of and probably just focus on rare cards of his.
I see your point about no team loyality when you are a player collector. The trade has sunk in and at the end of the day I am a Chicago White Sox fan first and foremost. Im almost 30 years old and I cant believe Im having a hard time with this LOL :lol:

 

[Mudpuddlehuddle]

When Cuddy got traded from the Twinkies I was crushed. First and foremost i'm a Twins fan but only sold doubles of Cuddyer. He is still the fan friendly hard working player now that he was with the Twins and that won't change. It was solidified that i'm keep Cuddy cards when he took Killebrews number with the rockies. The person I actually most collect. Good luck mate and hey you still have Konerko who if I was a White Sox fan would be a HUGE fan of. He is the kind of guy any team would be lucky to have and in many ways similar to Cuddyer. I have thought about starting to collect him even though he is a White Sock.

I feel your pain, I'm going through the same thing w Latos. Since he is the first guy I started collecting since coming back to the hobby and since I have a decent collection, I think I'm going to stick with it. Maybe not drop the money on the higher end cards but still pursue the autos and SPs. The problem is, the Padres don't have another franchise player to collect. Prospects, prospects, prospects.

I like this trade.

You know Cuddyer was a free agent, correct? So it's not as if it wasn't his choice to leave for Colorado.
