As a White Sox fan, I don\u2019t want to get my hopes up, but the thought of Quentin having a full, 2008-type season is scary.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 And considering the White Sox current lineup, Quentin could easily have another 100+ RBI season.\u00a0 So, will <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">the White Sox outfielder<\/span> <a href=\"..\/archives\/2047\">our favorite State Farm Insurance agent<\/a> continue his torrid production?
