The White Sox today acquired Carlos Quentin in exchange for prospect Chris Carter. Although Quentin batted .214 with 5 HR in 81 games, he is believed to have pretty good power, if he can stay healthy. The Diamondbacks definitely won this one though. Not only do they acquire a solid first baseman with power and a good eye of the strike zone, but it opens the way for Justin Upton to play everyday. Some may say that because he is in Single-A, he has not proven himself, and that may be true. But giving a spot to Upton will improve the offense, and give Carter a chance to rise into position with the Diamondbacks.

I am glad that Eli knows that one team definitely won a trade involving one player who hasnt played a full season in the majors and one player who is in A ball. I wish I could buy his crystal ball and give it to the gm of my favorite baseball team.
what are you, 5? if you don't like the site, go away
so did the dbacks still "definitely" win this trade?
