Omar is Back

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Omar Quintanilla! Fuck yeah!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I suppose that's a nice thing.

[Edgy MD]

It's an awesome thing. The dude has the wiry and supple body of a teenager, the world-weary face of a sixty year old, and the heavy-lidded detachment of deadly martial arts master.


So... minor league deal, yes? No?

[Guest themetfairy]

Welcome back Omar!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, this is according to Adam Rubin's baseball sources, a minor league deal and ST invite.

New York Post wrote: The Mets are still the lone team that hasn�t signed a major-league free agent. But they continue to collect bargain-basement reserves on minor league contracts. On Thursday, the Mets brought back Omar Quintanilla, who had a semi successful run with the team in the first half of last season, according to ESPN.com. Quintanilla, 31, hit .243 with four home runs and 16 RBIs in 169 major-league at bats for the Mets and the Orioles in 2012. The Amazin�s sent him to Baltimore in July for cash to make room for Jason Bay when he came off the disabled list. Quintanilla will likely compete against Brandon Hicks, who the Mets acquired from the Athletics for cash in November, for a spot as a backup middle infielder

Welcome back to the only Met to play shortstop in a Mets no-hitter.

As cheap reserve infielders go, he's OK.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If he can put up a .350ish OBP with passable defense at his price? That's a small victory the likes of which we could use more.

[Edgy MD]

It's like the Bordick boomerang, only backwards.
