I think we should trade with the D'Backs for this guy. I would trade Petit for him straight up.

 

Quentin would look awesome in teal....this year he's batting .286, 6 HR, 35 RBI (23 doubles) 3 SB/0 CS

 

He's only 24 and a career .316 hitter in the minors...great eye at the plate too....last year he had 72 BB/71 K's!! With a career SLG% of .534 and a career OPS of .962 and great defense, I think he's the real deal.

 

Some of this guys accolades:

2001 Freshman First Team All-America OF

Pacific-10 Newcomer of the Year

Pacific-10 Conference All-Star OF

2002 Summer League First-Team All-American OF

Pacific-10 Conference All-Star OF

2003 Pacific-10 Conference All-Star OF

Second Team College All-American OF

College World Series All-Tournament Team OF

2004 Baseball America First Team Minor League All-Star OF

Arizona Diamondbacks Minor League Player of the Year

 

 

It may take more than Petit to get him but we have the pitching to trade....I may even be willing to trade Petit and Pinto....what you guys think? He wouldn't cost a fortune like Carl Crawford would.

I found this about him. http://198.64.140.59/baseball/features/art...5/08/15/21.html

 

And someother prospects: http://198.64.140.59/baseball/features/art...5/08/15/54.html

Personally, I'd rather have Chris Young. I think Carlos Quentin is destined to be a corner outfield, not a Centerfielder.

 

Young is ... umm..younger, faster, has a bit more power,will play a better CF and has a much higher ceiling IMO. For all of Carlos Quentin's accolades I think he should be putting up much better numbers as a 24 year old playing in a hitters ball park in the minors.

Quentin or Young (who I'd also prefer) aren't coming to FLA unless it's in a package for Willis

/agree. Was going to add something but actually you covered it all

I wouldn't agree with that. Arizona has a stockpile full of young outfielders, and not so many pitchers once you get past Brandon Webb. An Anibel Sanchez deal for Chris Young would make the Dbacks think very hard.

I got to agree with wanks1212.

 

Arizona does have pitching, see Enrique Gonzalez, Dustin Nippert, Garret Mock, Micah Owings, Greg Smith, Edgar Gonzalez(all in either AAA or AA) and Matt Torra, Dallas Buck, Max Scherzer, Brooks Brown.

I don't like Young that much as a MLBer. Didn't he K like 160 times? I'd rather have a better contact hitter.

In the offseason maybe, but any in-season deal would have to include something that's going to help the D-Backs immediately, and trading for a pitcher in the minors probably isn't going to help them make the playoffs this year. D-Train is your best bet to bring a big in-season haul.

 

Next offseason is probably a better time to try a pitching prospects for outfield prospects deal.

Young has more speed than Quentin, who is a power hitting corner outfielder.

 

Quentin wouldn't fit in our CF, but Young would.

 

However, getting either one of those players would require giving up something pretty big.

Actually, this year Chris Young at age 22 has 35 strikeouts and 22 walks for .355 OBP in 195 ABs

Quentin has 37 K's in 238 ABs and 26 walks with a .404 OBP at age 23. Both are playing on the same team. Add to that Young's 4 more homeruns (10 to 6) plus his ability to play a better CF ... thats why I take Young.
