Jose Quintana thread (reverse jinx/hex)

Jose Quintana LHP White Sox – age 23 – Another lesser known arm. This lefty has struck out 26 in 35.1 IP with a 3.03 ERA. The production is there for the southpaw and he’s walked just 7.3% of hitters. He’s bounced from the Mets to the Yankees and now with the White Sox he may be poised to step forward as a SP option.

“Quintana’s fastball is in the 89-91 mph range. He also throws a curveball and change-up, and according to one scouting report, “throws with some deception.” (see the Wilson Alvarez comparison from RV)

 

“He’s a strike thrower,” Williams said. “He can spin the breaking ball. He’s got velocity to both sides of the plate. He can grow up and be a starter. We’re very happy to have both (Donnie Veal was the other LHP signed).”

 

 

Does anyone know who scouted and recommended Quintana for the White Sox in the FSL last year? Give him a gold star and promotion.

 

Normally, whenever there's a thread about a young White Sox player or prospect, they proceed to lay an egg and end up like Josh Fields, Ehren Wasserman, Andy Gonzalez and Josh Fields.

 

So I'm not taking responsibility if Quintana gets bombed tmrw. Only thinking positive thoughts!!!
