New Mariner Carlos Quentin: From a Different Perspective

The Seattle Mariners recently acquired slugger Carlos Quentin after he was released by the Atlanta Braves. The Mariners really can thank the San Diego Padres for Quentin, as they traded him to Atlanta for closer Craig Kimbrel.

I grew up and spent the better part of 20 years in San Diego. I am a lifelong Padres fan, I am sure you have not met many of those. I have been able to watch Quentin very closely.

So you are probably asking yourself, what are the Mariners getting by signing this aging outfielder in Carlos Quentin?
