19. OMAR QUINTANILLA, ss, Modesto A's
Age: 22 Ht: 5-9 Wt: 190 B-T: L-R Drafted/Signed: Athletics '03 (1S)

Quintanilla hit just .235 in April before finding his line-drive stroke. He hit
.355 after May, earning an August promotion to Double-A, where he batted .353
to push his two-year career average to .330.

Quintanilla will hit for average with gap power, though at times he can get
pull-conscious. While he makes good contact, he lacks the plate discipline the
Athletics preach, and he's an average-at-best runner.

Short and stocky, Quintanilla is fundamentally sound defensively but lacks the
athleticism and arm strength to stay at shortstop. Nearly everyone who saw him
in the Cal League projected that he would move to second base, and he drew
comparisons to Glenn Hubbard, Randy Velarde and Todd Walker, all serviceable
big league second basemen.
