Carlos Quentin to the Padres for two prospects: Simon Castro and Pedro Hernandez.
Simon Castro, a 23-year-old right-hander, was ranked as the Padres third best prospect at this time last year by Baseball America. Neither he nor Hernandez, a 22-year-old lefty, made the top ten this year, though.

middle-aged request: mention all teams involved, cuz right now I have no idea who Carlos Quentin is.

dude was (v. briefly) the white sox's next superstar iirc

dude with good power and decent patience who was #5 in the mvp voting in '08, good year in '11, two mediocre years in between. should become a nice, forgettable 40 doubles per year guy in petco.

He probably would have finished higher in '08 MVP voting if he hadn't missed around 30 games near the end of the season (temper-related wrist fracture).
