Let’s take a trip back to the time when the Houston Astros were selling any veteran with value. When you think of Humberto Quintero, you don’t think of a former All-Star, but he was a good backup catcher. He was there to back up Brad Ausmusand others. The Astros traded him to the Royals.
When your team is selling all of their assets for minor leaguers, you tend to remember those players. In March of 2012, Quintero was traded along with Jason Bourgeois for Kevin Chapman and a player to be named later.
