Memories of Omar Quintanilla

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

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

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

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

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.

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

G-Fafif Jul 20 2012 02:35 PM Re: Memories of Omar Quintanilla

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 Jul 20 2012 02:40 PM Re: Memories of Omar Quintanilla

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

Benjamin Grimm Jul 20 2012 02:47 PM Re: Memories of Omar Quintanilla

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.

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.

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.

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