RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2009

Quintanilla's a data point in the argument that some players can hit at Triple-A (.305/.372/.437) but not the majors (.226/.278/.301). He doesn't have enough power or speed to be on the Rockies' roster, much less yours.

2008

Quintanilla is a light-hitting, slick-fielding infielder who can play shortstop and second base. He was shuffled between the majors and Triple-A in 2007 but never got consistent playing time with the Rockies. With Kaz Matsui gone he will compete with Jayson Nix and Clint Barmes for the starting second base job. He is a better fielder than both players but his bat may limit his playing time.

2007

Quintanilla received a cup of coffee with the Rockies for the second straight season, but this second go-around didn't go quite as well as the first, when he batted .346 in 52 at-bats in 2005. He's an excellent defender at both second base and shortstop, a quality that should ensure he at least has a long career as a bench player. But Quintanilla hasn't shown enough with the bat to think he'll be anything more. He'll compete for a utility role this spring.

2006

Quintanilla was acquired from Oakland during the season and lined up at shortstop to fill in for Clint Barmes. He's a versatile middle infielder who is a wizard with the glove, but batted just .219/.270/.242 in his first stint at the major league level. He'll compete in spring training for the Rockies utility role in 2006.
