Carlos Quentin is two games in to his first(and only) year with the San Diego Padres.
Analysis: If you are in need of some power numbers for your fantasy squad, then you may not have to look further than Carlos Quentin. Quentin has hit cleanup for the Padres in his two games and already has four hits with a home run. Quentin has lifetime .490 slugging percentage and he has averaged twenty-five home runs over the past two years in some limited time with the White Sox. His knee appears to be fine and he is already mashing like the Carlos of old. He is playing for a new contract which means we may see one very motivated outfielder.
Quentin is available in over seventy percent of fantasy leagues but a bat like his won’t last long on the wire. He may be hitting at Petco but there are very few dominant pitchers in the NL West. It also makes sense that when the trade deadline approaches, Quentin will be shipped to a contender with some protection. Either way you slice it, Carlos Quentin is a must own if he is available in your league.
