Is Carlos Quentin Lost for the Season?

It appears that may be the case. 670 The Score is reporting that Quentin's wrist injury is severe, and our very own BestKoserPolish independently confirms (through his own second-hand sources).

that Quentin’s wrist injury is severe and that there is a possibility of a fracture. Rogers said that Quentin is more than likely out for the rest of the regular season.

cowley update

Quentin’s season appears in jeopardy

September 5, 2008Recommend (3)

BY JOE COWLEY Staff Reporter
Carlos Quentin’s season appears to be in jeopardy after the White Sox received MRI results on his injured right forearm and wrist Friday morning, according to sources close to the situation.

It’s unclear how he suffered the injury, but he was a late scratch Monday and hasn’t played since.

Quentin has 36 home runs and is a leading candidate for the AL MVP award.

If Quentin is lost for a significant amount of time, the Sox have options, including moving Ken Griffey Jr. from center to left field. And Nick Swisher would move to center.

or i imagine joe isn't going to post a story that isn't necessarily accurate.

the sox would be getting a second opinion right now on quentin before anyone of real substance would start saying what jesse said on the air. as i said on the prior thread, a break doesn’t necessarily mean much. it’s everything else. jesse may just be running with the “it’s broken” part without actually thinking about it/getting something more about the actual effect of the break. or he’s relaying what the initial prognosis is. who knows.

BP responds

by Will Carroll

WSCR in Chicago is reporting that Carlos Quentin has a broken wrist and is done for the season. I have been unable to confirm the specifics, but there is more going on than I was led to believe yesterday. Just last evening, I spoke with a trusted source who told me that he expected Quentin to be back in the lineup today, as you’ll see in Friday’s UTK Wrap. Now, that is no longer the case. Quentin returned from scans on his injured arm with a cast or brace and an announcement is expected before game time with more details.

or the white sox were surprised, too.

which is beginning to sound more like what the situation was. breaks in complex areas like the hand or foot or shoulder are often not readily observable, especially if they are of the hairline or “stress fracture” variety.

as i noted on the other thread, it depends.

dustin pedroia played through a broken wrist last year from roughly this same time through the playoffs. sort of like with your stress fracture in the foot, it depends upon where the break is because, for lack of a better phrase, some bones do more or different things than other bones.

the simple way to sugar coat is that quentin isn't worth 15 runs (current white sox lead), or even ten runs, over his replacement for the rest of the season.

quentin may make it harder but this injury isn’t likely to be the deciding factor in the al central race.

he has been significantly better, perhaps not "far" better.

but i think this is all semantics. it looks like we are down our #3 hitter, the front-runner in the MVP race. how big is that? pretty fucking huge. he has won us a lot of games this year. if he is indeed out for the season, then i would say my hopes for this team are now just to squeeze into the playoffs and i’m not too optimistic for anything after that.

it depends. if he can play, it means the injury isn't serious enough to merit immediate attention or get much worse.

the sox will know if he can’t play. the troubling thing, of course, is that it’s been pretty obvious for the past couple weeks that he couldn’t play.

yeah. i don't think it could have been because of a HBP, at least not directly, because i'm fairly certain he was never hit on the wrist.

which could be why the sox were caught off guard by the injury. the forearm problem was perhaps there first so, when things got worse in that area, they attributed it to that instead of a “new” injury.

Again, Just Another Bump In The Road Of This Seesaw Season

And it’s going to simply stay like that. We lose AT LEAST 3 games we should’ve won early on in April, we get swept in Toronto and get left for dead for the rest of the season, the Cabrera fiasco of calling pressboxes, the blowup doll ‘controversy’, the 6.5 game lead after a Twins sweep, being swept by the Cubs, then sweeping them, having to find a 5th starter after Contreras went down, the recent flip-flopping of 1st place w/ Minnesota, and now Quentin going down for the year. Bottom line is this division will not be decided until all of the White Sox faithful have lost every hair on their head and gone gray prior to that loss of hair.

official release; injury apparently occurred monday

CHICAGO — Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin will undergo surgery Monday morning, September 8, to have a screw inserted into his fractured right wrist.
The surgery, which will take place at Rush University Medical Center, will be performed by team hand and wrist specialists, Dr. Mark Cohen and Dr. John Fernandez, and White Sox lead orthopedic surgeon Dr. Charles Bush-Joseph of Midwest Orthopedics at Rush University.

Quentin, who leads the American League with 36 home runs and is hitting .288 (138-480) with 100 RBI, will have his wrist re-evaluated in two to three weeks to determine how the healing process has progressed.

Quentin suffered the injury to his right wrist during Monday’s game in Cleveland. He returned to Chicago on Wednesday for evaluation and treatment by Dr. Bush-Joseph and Dr. Cohen, and a decision to insert the screw was made last night.

i'd have to do some calculations

and i’d probably have to broaden it to griffey/ba/owens but about what they’ve been doing would be fine. as i said above, 23 games isn’t a great amount. a single injury over such a period of time is rather meaningless in the grand scheme – i’m sure you have read, or are at least aware, of what’s been written about such things in places like bp’s 2008 annual. i’m more worried about what i’ve called in my notes the cascade effect. i was planning to wait until after the season to do my analysis of the effect the jenks/linebrink/contreras “cascade” had on the overall pitching staff and team. the same sort of analysis can be applied to injuries overall. the gist of bp’s and others research is that 1 or 2 injuries aren’t a big deal. it’s when you start having to trot out 3 or 4 or 5 replacement level or below guys all at once and/or over a long period that the effect is really felt.

I figured as much

If the team hits at the level they have for home games it shouldnt matter a great deal offensively. An unhealthy Q was very “okay” the last 2 weeks. The Sox need an effective Linebrink. They have to have an effective bullpen.

by Tdogg on Sep 5, 2008 2:27 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

right. the effect on the offense is pretty negligible. defense roughly similar, considering quentin was no great shakes.

if i had to throw out a number, i’d probably say a half win. what the sox absolutely can’t afford is another pitching injury. the danks situation, while not as interesting judging by the number of posts on quentin, is far, far more critical.

i know you're trying to get a feel for the general sentiment on that,

I am remaining hopeful for our season, through tears, yes. Our offense is good enough (when working) to sustain without Q.

But it really will take our pitching and the collective efforts of PK, General, and Swish to step up their games.
MB can’t be letting up 7 goddam runs at a time. Or for the rest of the season, for that matter.

My misery is not from my thinking we have no shot anymore. But because this is truly a shame. His MVP is gone. And after an entire season of biting fingernails, hoping he wouldn’t get hurt, he goes down at the most inopportune of times.

Famous Doctor, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., Reports: Quentin Injury Just a Giant Ruse!

“… however, it is just an ingenious trick; a diabolically clever scheme to unite the team and engender overconfidence in the Twins. Mr. Quentin is in fact resting comfortably at his home on Mount Olympus — his wrist is fine. Actually, it’s more than ‘fine’ — it is, like the rest of him, quite dazzling, and he is planning to grow several extras …”

Famous Doctor, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., Buys Rug in Tunisia.

“… ‘she certainly was not afraid to haggle’, said the market’s proprietor, Hamid al-Benezar, ‘most westerners are intimidated by the custom of … what’s the English word for where a buyer and seller trade offers back and forth … ah, can’t think of it; anyway, as I was saying …”

Bargaining...

My chemical dependency therapeutic training is all coming back, 20+ years later.

colbert came back from this. So will He.

good point. few are as dependant on their wrist for success as colbert.

You're on thin fucking ice my pedigree chums, and I shall be under it when it breaks. Now, fuck off.

all the bat slamming stuff is true

I didn’t want to include it in post, and have people get mad at Q for doing a dumb thing to ruin a shot at the MVP, he’s not playing again this year so with those 4-6 week reports throw them out, Contreras has a better shot of being the opening day pitcher.

Already assimilated by the marketplace and reflected in the price.

that's thoroughly depressing.

indeed

he just cost himself millions of dollars. I’m really upset at the fact that he may have ruined his career with this injury. Derrek Lee and Nomar are still waiting to get their power numbers back after breaking their wrist.

Yep.

Though Papi has come back fairly large so far this year – I don’t believe he needed screws, though.

Yeah

but as Hawk would say, ’he’s not as dangerous as he used to be’

Says who?

If not, it’s because Manny’s not there, and he’s a bit long in the tooth.

There was this "age" thingy

His homers were down last season and this season...

His doubles are not.

lol.

yeah. that is a tough reference point to ignore for some. his power has apparently declined. i’m more inclined to say that’s because he’s crossed the big 3-0. “normalize” that 05-06 (for abberation and injury, respectively) and that looks like a normalish arc.
