Carlos Quentin Community Projection

I mentioned a Carlos Quentin projection in the Gavin Floyd Extension piece, and now seems like as good a time as any to start these up again.
I don't think I have to give much, if any, background on Q! He's a former first round pick, top 20 prospect in baseball, who found himself without a position thanks to the D'back dumb re-signing of Eric Byrnes. Traded to the Sox for the big power bat of Chris (Vernon) Carter, puts up MVP caliber season for 5 months before a self-inflicted wrist fracture takes him out for the rest of the season.
Q!uestions
Can Quentin repeat his '08 breakout? Will he experience a normal falling back to earth? How will his wrist injury effect his power?

so i’m expecting little change in obp, a mild dip in power, and whatever dip there is, i’m hoping he makes up for it with extra base hits.
go Q!

this post should be on the front page, wtf, this is Q we're talking about

That's what I was thinking! Maybe larry took away Cheat's ability to post front page material...
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

You must be the new judge of front-page-worthy crap too. Other community projections have been front paged thus far.

i was kidding.

Cheat played right into his hand
Appeasement is never a solution.
Confusion breeds success. If they don't know each other, opponents can't have strategy. GENIUS.

How will his wrist injury effect his power?
I think you mean “affect”
Colon "toes" nothing. That implies a nimbleness akin to a Nureyev. I beleive he "platypussed" the shit out of that mound.

i delight in terrorizing those who miss the slight nuances between affect and effect

Not to mention your delight in terrorizing former editors whenever the opportunity arises to "fial."

I am thinking Cheat is Humungous
in “Road Warrior” and you are the guy with chaps, no pants, and the chain attached that is being held by Lord Humungous, the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rolla. Am I correct?
the post wasn't for you. fuck off.

So basically, I should just envision your former (11) self with this metaphor....

My keyboard is missing a "The Unrighteous Shall Be Smitten Down And Cast Wailing Upon Thy Rod" button.
I am therefore unable to accurately complete my projection

It's next to the F12 on keyboards of the saved.

how many HBP's did he have last year?
I’m saying 16 this year. Totally random number.

I've been thinking...
Hideki Matsui and Chase Utley both returned their solid power after their hand/wrist injuries.
I think Q! will be fine.

Q!salm 23:4
Even though Q! walks through the valley of the shadow of Utley, He fears no evil, for He is with Himself; His bat and His high OBP comforts me.
typical south side sox meathead.
