Community Projection: Carlos Quentin
Quentin finished second in the last poll, so I figured he should be our next project.
You know the drill...

I would say that Thome
But yeah, a large part of the Sox season hinges on Quentin's ability to become a major league outfielder. If Quentin can become a plus-defensive, above average OBP doubles machine, and Fields can hold his September walk rate to go along with the other skills he showed in his rookie season, the Sox suddenly become an offensive force.

Bill James says...
But he also said that would be in Arizona so what does he know.
I wouldn't mind Quentin in left/center, Swisher in the other spot, but knowing Ozzies past, theres no way that happens. Owens will have to suck for half the year to lose the lead-off spot, and Quentin probably wont see a lot of time.
Ill give him some ABs, since Thome or Konerko might show some wear & tear, putting Swisher at 1b, and opeing a spot for CQ.
My best guess(for AB, and copying the main man):
260 ab, 70 hits(.269 avg) with 9 HR .340 OBP, .455 slg%

I'm extremely optimistic on him
420 ab, 122 hits, .290 avg, 20 HR, .370 OBP, .520 SLG and a lot of Sox fans thinking he's the new Mags. Remember this is a guy that did very well everywhere he played INCLUDING his first partial year up in 2006 when he went 166 ab, .253 avg, 9 HR, .342 OBP, .530 SLG. Now he moves to one of the best hitters parks in baseball with something to prove. I believe we're lucky he had some things happen last year that allowed KW to steal him.
