Carlos Quentin, 2 years removed from a MVP-like season, has to bounce back this year. Because of injury and the possible slump, Quentin just wasn't himself last year, though he still hit for some power with 26 home runs. As the probable number 5 hitter behind Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn, he has to return to his MVP self because the White Sox are not known as a hitting team despite having a hitter's park. They have relied on pitching, but with Quentin hitting at his best and at his potential, the White Sox can really go. He also has to start accepting his role as a power hitter and learn that people will fear his swing a little bit more. Hopefully he will mature and become a more patient, but still powerful, number 5 hitter. Go White Sox!
