The Chicago White Sox are in the dead middle of the tightest race in baseball, the AL Central. The Sox entered Saturday with 1.5 game lead over the Minnesota Twins with 22 games left to play. It's been an exciting season in the Southside, but the excitement may now turn to panic as news broke yesterday that stud outfielder and MVP-candidate Carlos Quentin may be loss for the season due to a broken wrist.

Quentin, who currently leads the AL with 36 HRs and has 100 RBI's on the season, will have surgery next week. A screw will be inserted into the wrist, and he will be re-evaluated in two-to-three-weeks.

The Chicago Sun-Times said that Quentin's season is "in jeopardy" and while the White Sox could conceivably get him back in time for the playoffs in October, his regular season -- and therefore, his Fantasy season -- is likely over. The White Sox will have options, including moving Ken Griffey Jr. from center to left field. And Nick Swisher could move back to center.
