Memories of Omar Quintanilla

[Guest themetfairy]

Omar filled in when Ruben Tejada was on the DL. He did what we expected - nothing less, and certainly nothing more.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh, he did a lot more than expected. For a couple weeks he was our best hitter.

[Edgy MD]

I think he did more than expected. For our fourth option at shortstop, he put up a higher OPS than Jos� Reyes.

I liked his look. It spoke of a certainly of faith in his compact body and wisdom beyond his years. He looked like a wandering samurai. Now his wanderings continue.

[Ceetar]

He did good.

Exchanged for future considerations, which Rubin says could mean this:

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

In the end fit the profile of a number 6, kinda scrubby but sorta useful, easy come and easy go.

I predict we see another guy wearing No. 6 before the year is out.

[G-Fafif]

The nerve of the Mets, selling almost everything associated with Johan's no-hitter -- why, they just sold the shortstop!

[G-Fafif]

I'd also throw in that Omar had the worst DiamondVision picture ever and enjoyed a fine debut, the night Jeremy Hefner homered (3 for 4, two doubles).

[Edgy MD]

I bet Johan signed him, and wrote the date of the no-hitter in, in order to pump up his trade value.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think that it was because the Mets finally got a player whose last name started with a Q that they were able to break the no-hitter jinx.

[G-Fafif]

He did good. Exchanged for future considerations, which Rubin says could mean this:

I twice interviewed the guy behind that brand -- in-person sessions that had nothing at all to do with my desire to concoct trips to Baltimore so I could go to Camden Yards and have my expenses covered. Nothing at all.

A well groomed round head...He did good.

[Fman99]

Fare thee well, Omar Quesadilla.

He caught the final out of the Friday game against the MFYs. That's more than I can say for other infielders.

Reminded me of this guy.

[MFS62]

For one brief shining moment (no, not Camelot) he had the top OPS among NL shortstops.

Later

Luis Castillo is envious!
