CHICAGO (MCT) — Jose Quintana does not tiptoe into a room. He opens the door and waltzes right in, sometimes to stick around, sometimes to be promptly escorted out.

It’s a direct approach, one built around challenging hitters with strikes, and the White Sox prefer it to the pussy-footing style of newcomer Francisco Liriano, who has gone from rotation savior to odd man out. He has been bounced to the bullpen for the Tigers series, if not longer, while Robin Ventura and Don Cooper put their trust in Gavin Floyd and a pair of young lefties, Hector Santiago and Quintana, down the stretch.
