Quentin quite the HBP target, but not the leader
By Adam Berry Despite all that’s been said in the wake of Thursday night’s melee between the Padres and Dodgers, Carlos Quentin still isn’t the career leader in number of times hit by a pitch. He’s just inside the top 50 all-time, sure, and he’s been plunked 116 times, the seventh-highest total among active players.

Greinke's Freakish Injury Will Not Deter the Dodgers from Spending $200 Million on Kershaw
By Wayne G. McDonnell, Jr., Contributor
Zack Greinke’s fractured left collarbone at the hands of an altercation with Carlos Quentin of the San Diego Padres has put the Los Angeles Dodgers’ $147 million number two starting pitcher on the shelf for at least two months. To make matters worse, surgery must be performed to insert a rod into Greinke’s clavicle so that it can be stabilized and also help with the alignment of the fracture. The Dodgers’ once bright postseason hopes have suffered a serious setback that now places a heavier burden on a ball club that firmly believes they will be playing ball games deep into the month of October. Greinke’s freakish injury reminds all of us how fragile pitchers actually are and why they are viewed as expensive, yet cherished commodities.
