Quick Hits: Quentin, Nationals, Hamilton, Phillies

By Zachary Links | May 13, 2012 at 3:14pm CDT

This morning, the Nationals learned that catcher Wilson Ramos will miss most, if not all, of the 2012 season.  It was an unfortunate piece of news for the club, but it did create an opportunity for 23-year-old catcher Sandy Leon, who was promoted to support Jesus Flores behind the plate.  When Leon found out, he called his parents to let them know that he was Washington-bound, tweets Bill Ladson of MLB.com.  The catcher, who was previously with the club's Double-A affiliate, said it was the best Mother's Day gift that he could possibly give to his mom.  Here are some links from around baseball..

  • The San Diego Union-Tribune's Sharon Annie Heilbrunn conducted a Q&A with Carlos Quentin. The new Padres outfielder discussed what it was like to be traded to his hometown team and how he's grown through the trades he's been a part of.
  • As of right now, there is no talk of the Nationals bringing Ivan Rodriguez in as the backup catcher, according to Bill Ladson of MLB.com (via Twitter).  The 40-year-old announced his retirement from baseball last month.
  • Some believe that the Rangers' knowledge about Hamilton's history would make them less likely to sign him than other clubs, but Buster Olney of ESPN.com believes that it makes them more likely to sign him.  The Rangers know the ins-and-outs of the outfielder's past and have an idea of how to best support him.
  • Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer wants to see Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro channel Pat Gillick in order to turn things around.
  • Steven Cohen, hedge-fund billionaire and runner-up in the bidding for the Dodgers, is thought to be one of at least five potential buyers scoping out the Padres' financial data, writes Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times.  The O'Malley family is also interested in buying the club.

    Soooooo.. Nationals, how ’bout Miguel Olivo. He’s calls a good game, and has great veteran grit! You can have him for free!

    Carlos Quinton talks about playing in his hometown? Don’t you have to actually play in a game and not sit on the DL?

    I’m so glad Quentin a.k.a. Mr. Glass is gone.  He’ll hit five homers in a week then hurt himself trying to pull a low, outside pitch.

    I would think bringing bacik iRod to the Nats would be a good move under the circumstances.  The Nats young staff is doing just fine, thank you, but surely having iRod around would help improver the pitching further.
