Humberto Quintero..

I have a few questions for you Astros fans

1) How is Humberto Quintero faring down in AAA?

2) Is there any real shot of him eventually taking over the reigns of Catcher, or do you guys have a better prospect and Humberto only looks to be your back up of the future?

3) Are any of you really happy that you have Humberto in your organization, or are you pretty much indifferent in regards to him?

I'm mainly asking because all of us Padre fans are irate at Tim Redding's decrepid performance thus far, and some are going as far as to say that they wish we had Humberto back, despite the fact that we have a catcher who's 100x better. (even though you guys still clearly got the better end of the deal)

Sorry to get to you so late Leo. I have been busy with a softball tournament.

H is doing lukewarm to this point. He is batting .271 with 2 homers and one error in 55 at bats. It is a hard field to play in at Round Rock. The field is unforgiving with the long ball.

I feel that he may get a shot next year.

The Astros are the winners in this deal. You guys got a headcase with Redding (sorry, but I told you so).
