Poll: Can Carlos Quentin maintain his hot start?

Carlos Quentin: Wow. Is Q locked in at the plate right now or what? The White Sox right fielder has started the season on an absolute tear, hitting the ball hard to all fields and driving in runs like it’s going out of style.  Of his 11 hits thus far, a whopping seven have gone for extra bases – five doubles and two yardballs.  Oh yeah, he’s also driven in 10 runs in five games and currently sports a 1.522 OPS. As a White Sox fan, I don’t want to get my hopes up, but the thought of Quentin having a full, 2008-type season is scary.  It suddenly reminds us of how great of a season he was having before breaking a bone in his wrist and missing the last month.  And considering the White Sox current lineup, Quentin could easily have another 100+ RBI season.  So, will the White Sox outfielder our favorite State Farm Insurance agent continue his torrid production? Or will his fragility once again shorten a promising season?
