OF Carlos Quentin, Arizona Diamondbacks
While veterans Shawn Green and Luis Gonzalez were clogging up the D-backs' corner outfield spots the past two seasons, blue-chip prospect Quentin patiently waited in the Minors, during which time he lashed out at Triple-A pitchers with a plus-.500 slugging percentage.
Finally given his first whiff of regular at-bats in September, the former Stanford stud didn't disappoint, roping 11 extra-base hits for a .571 slugging percentage to close the season. Now, with Green and Gonzalez both elsewhere, Quentin steps into an everyday right-field job in the heart of Arizona's budding lineup. The combination of his advanced plate selectivity and thunderous power could very well give the D-backs their first 100-RBI man since 2003.

He also talked about Young being the top OF prospect, along with bat thrower delmon young, with 20 hr/ 20 sb ability.

| I'm not sure who is going to be our break-out rookie but I'm dying to see the season start so I can find out. |

I'm not getting my hopes up this year. Therre's going to be some real peaks and valleys with this club. However, once we get this acclimation year out of the way, '08-'10 is going to completely kick ass.

| I think they have as good a chance to compete as anyone else. It is not out of the realm of possibility anyway. I think of it as one of those "why not the diamondbacks?" situations when i look at the other teams in the nl west. |
