Message #4 by Rob Reed @ February 1, 2011, 07:55am just not a good hitter historial low BABIP indicates that the guy just has a horrible eye at the plate... probably, this is because he is looking for the long ball every time he gets to the plate. Injuries have plagued him a bit the last few years, but there's little to help me believe that he is more than a solid 2-3 category player, who will kill your average.

Message #2 by Rob Reed @ 4/29/08, 6:18pm Ranked #15 I picked up Quentin last week the minute he was waived by a team in my experts league (there is a lot of pitch and ditch strategy going on there, so some decent players are getting dumped). The day I picked him up, he hit a HR, so I immediately felt great about the decision... and he continues to play wonderfully. I'm drinking the kool aid, and I'm committing myself. For power and RBI, he is incredibly valuable. Might put a hit on everything else, but I need power and RBI in my experts league head to head. Player Track currently ranks him as the 15th best fantasy player in all of baseball right now. How could anyone not get excited about that?

Message #1 by Brian Valentini @ 4/29/08, 9:08am first round prospect This guy was drafted in the first round by Arizona then traded and look what happens. Should we drink the punch Rob? Does anybody out there think this guy can produce all year round?
