It really depends on what KW feels about this team. Does he believe in it fully? Sure we might be very much in the race still but unless a couple other guys beyond Konerko and Quentin start hitting we're probably not going very far anyway. So then there are a couple things to consider:

Does the org trust Quentin stay healthy every year? He does get hot at times but then he also has lots of cold streaks where he pops up on the first pitch. And yes, every hitter goes through cold streaks but that's when you have to decide if you want to sell high on a player. Our farm system is barren. If Quentin can net us 2-3 or 3-4 good to very good prospects it's something to consider for the future.

Unfortunately you have to give up quality to get quality.
