Happy Birthday - 8/2

No future Astros with birthdays, but one former Astro celebrates the day ~

C Humberto Quintero (34)
Originally signed by the White Sox out of Venezuela in 1997, Quintero came to Houston in a March 2005 trade with San Diego for Tim Redding. In 344 games from 2005 through 2011, he hit .234/.266/.319. He was sent to Kansas City, along with Jason Bourgeois, in a March 2012 trade that netted the Astros LHP Kevin Chapman and OF D'Andre Toney. He is currently playing for Seattle's AAA team. My favorite memory of Q will always be this one:
