"Carlos Quentin was a solid right fielder at Stanford from 2001 to 2003.

Even so, White Sox general manager Ken Williams said he would ask for Quentin's permission to move him from left field if there was a deal that would require Quentin to switch positions.

Williams said he sought assurances last week from Gordon Beckham before acquiring Mark Teahen, which will cause Beckham to move from third base to second."
