He hit good ones in 06, after his call up. Not too many in 07, the one that sticks out is one he hit off Jorge Julio after we traded Julio to the Rockies, that one almost hit Fridays.

I think you may be thinking of the wrong guy. He bats right handed and all the homers I remember went to right field and Fridays is in left field. For him to pull it and almost hit Fridays would be near impossible. I think Barry is the only one who pulls like that.

Carlos Q-U-E-N-T-I-N had enormous power all through the minors. He hit a couple long HR for us, too. He deserved a chance to start every day and get a rhythm -- it could maybe have happened here if he hadn't injured his shoulder to start last season, although our penchant for platooning guys has hurt young players more than helped. Give Conor some stability as the everyday player, and he's also blossoming into the player many of us predicted all through the minors.
I am ecstatic for Carlos; he's finally healthy and with a team and manager that will let him grow into his on-field role without constantly jerking him around.

Like I said at the time, I would have much preferred to extend O-Dog, and to stick with Quentin instead of Byrnes. Really the only obvious mistake that Byrnes has made, and still not a huge mistake.

why is every one so upset about carlos not being here? He has no spot and we traded to help get a prospect that we traded to get a bigger need in Haren. I would take haren anyday over carlos.
It's not Haren -- it's that hacker Eric Byrnes and his excessive contract.
It all worked out, in that we did get Haren, and Carlos got the fresh start I think he really needed, and a very different type of manager who is probably better for him. For me, it's just a matter of having really looked forward to Carlos as our right fielder of the future throughout his time in the minors, so it's bittersweet.

The problem was the Byrnes new contract and the fact he is the fan favorite for the majority of the fans , I think.
I would have rather kept Quentin though, for the money and let him grow. He'll be better than Byrnes by the all-star break, this year. Bad one, letting him go, they could have pulled the Haren deal, regardless.
How many PAs does Quentin need for me to throw this myopic junk up in the air?

Carlos hit his American League leading 9th homer last night. He also collected three hits in the White Sox win over the Mariners. Great to see Q doing well.

What? He does hit right handed and right handers with power tend to "pull" the ball and that would be to left field. He has the right guy.
