Good Starts For Quentin And Beckham Are Key
Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn and Alex Rios are going to be big parts of the Chicago White Sox's success this season. But equally important might be the play of Carlos Quentin and Gordon Beckham.
"There were a couple guys that needed to start well," Joe Cowley, of the Chicago Sun-Times, said on the Danny Mac Show. "Carlos Quentin, I mean, when you're going to a sports psychiatrist, or a life coach, or however they want to phrase it, for a second straight year, and this time there was a break through, you want to see it translate on the field. And you want to see it translate in the numbers, and so far so good.

"And Beckham, I think, is a guy that feeds off confidence because of his youth. And when you go out there and do what he did in the spring, and remember how he closed out last season before the hand injury. And then to go out in the regular season, when the bell rings, and to continue that. I mean that's only a good thing. I don't think you can discount that, of how much swagger it gives a guy. And if you feel like every time you're going up there and getting a hit, then you're in pretty good shape. If you're going up there and you're already out before you swing the bat, you're done. And you can tell when a guy is like that, and that was Beckham the first half of last season."
