Omar Quintanilla! Fuck yeah!

I suppose that's a nice thing.

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?

Welcome back Omar!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 03 2013 02:37 PM Re: Omar is Back

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.

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.

It's like the Bordick boomerang, only backwards.
