July 27, 201015 yr Cubs would pay "quite a bit of" what he's owed this year and next. http://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/19597397319 Despite being cold for awhile (probably partly due to losing time to Colvin), he's put up a .338 wOBA this year (.346 against righties). That's better than all of our starters not named Konerko, Rios, or Quentin (Jones is next at .329). He played league average center field last year and is playing league average right field this year. That obliterates Quentin out there. Say what you will about him not having much more that 10 homer power, dude is above average at the most important thing- getting on base. Platooning him and Jones in right is a serious upgrade over Quentin ever using a glove or Kotsay ever using a bat (or glove or chewing gum or anything at all).
