Carlos Quentin Gets His Close-Up In First Red Sox Start

Carlos Quentin has not played in a big-league game since 2014, but the 34-year-old, two-time All-Star, who had a few impact seasons with the White Sox, is giving baseball one more shot. After losing approximately 40 pounds on a new diet and allowing his body to heal, the outfielder impressed the Red Sox enough in a tryout to earn a minor-league invite.

Ned Yost Listed #6, Clint Hurdle #7, Joe Girardi #12, Mike Matheny #16, Paul Molitor #23 Among Preseason Top Manager Rankings; Daniel Bard Feeling More Comfortable With Sidearm Delivery; Rich Hill Identifies Toughest Hitter He Has Faced

16. Mike Matheny, Cardinals — Matheny has been solid in his approach and definitely adheres to the Cardinal Way. He had to deal with a few injuries last season and he came out of it better than expected even though the Cards fell out of the playoff race. Our panel thought he should be ranked between 10-15.
