I have a good feeling about this Quintana feller. He may be legit.

 

Does anyone have any info on why the Yankees let him go?

 

He was my preseason sleeper pick.

Uh-oh.

 

Jared Mitchell 0 for 4, 3 K's.

 

Let's hope he rebounds from here instead of continuing his free-fall. Gut check time.

Yeah, back to not being good at baseball. Say what you want about the injury, but the things that were question marks to begin with (contact rate, raw baseball skills) are the things that are hurting him now. His speed may not be what it used to be (or that could be a bad scouting report), but he has 7 triples and is 9/10 in steals.

His speed is still well above average.

Right, I'm just saying it's time to stop blaming the injury for his struggles. He was raw when the Sox picked him. He probably just isn't good enough.

There's plenty of room to blame the injury. He basically lost >1 key year of development. He's guaranteed to be behind the curve, and that's a place few ballplayers recover from.

Not to mention all of the time he already lost to football.

He's not behind the curve. He played at Kannapolis pre-injury and was likely to be at Winston-Salem in 2010. He missed that year and spent 2011 with the Dash. He's now in Birmingham in his second full season of pro ball, which he would have been regardless. Obviously he's a year older in doing so (which has its advantages). I'm not saying the injury didn't impact his development, but there comes a point where you just have to admit the guy doesn't have it. He was far from a lock pre-injury.
