played for AAA TB in 08 had a .618 OPS, played in the Pirates AA/AAA last year, had a .694 OPS.He's Quintero, only younger.C Eric Munson a lefty catcher, one of Phil's ex-Tigers, a former #1 pick who had been converted to a 1B/3B and spent time bouncing between majors and minors.He didn't exactly hit well and also spent a few replica Longines L2.676.4.78.3 watch weeks at AAA, but did surprisingly well defensively for a guy who basically hadn't caught since college.Finished with a .617 OPS, then in 07 spent time bouncing between AAA and the ML, had a .669 OPS.
He was let go in the purge of 07/08, signed with the Brew Crew, but hurt his back and was out almost the whole season.Spent last year at AAA Oakland, had an .812 OPS (they'd better re-sign him because last I looked, they NEED a catcher.)2B/IF Joe McEwing ah, Super Joe, a fan fave with the Mets (and Cards) who couldn't hit.A good mostly AAA player, who was the MVP of the 06 AAA team (which was odd because both replica Longines L2.656.4.71.6 Men's watch Luke Scott and Brooks Conrad outhit him and drove in more runs in fewer ABs but I digress…) at age 33.This tells you everything you DIDN'T want to know about the Astros' minor league teams.
Got a few ABs in his brief callup?- didn't hit a lick.Had a .691 OPS with AAA Boston in 07, then retired.2B Brooks Conrad I am mentioning him, not because he went on to Astro greatness/suckitude, but because he was one of the guys with the AAA team who didn't make it.He was 26 in 06, a switch hitting 2B/3B who hit for some replica Longines L5.680.4.73.6 watch serious power 40 doubles and 24 HR,?a .267?average, had a .868 OPS and drove in 94 runs in 138 games.I thought he'd have a chance to make the team in 07 as a utility guy, but nope.
