Snakes and Sox

The Diamondbacks traded Carlos Quentin to the White Sox for first base prospect Chris Carter. Quentin hasn't lived up to expectations, but he's still young enough that he might improve. In his three years in the minors, Cater posted a .373 OBA and a .514 slugging percentage, pretty much what a team wants from a first baseman.

The Diamondbacks, however, have Connor Jackson at first base. Given that Carter is at first base, he's probably not moving to a tougher defensive position. Jackson gets on base well, but his power is a bit lacking. His days might be numbered with the Diamondbacks.

Hat tip AZ Snakepit.
