Happy Birthday - 4/6
Happy Birthday to ~
RHP Euris Quezada (24)
A NDFA from the Dominican, Quezada has played in the Astros system for four years. In 2012, he split his time among Greeneville, Tri-City and Lexington and put up a 3.14 ERA and 1.413 WHIP in 30 appearances out of the bullpen without allowing a single home run. At this point, he is in extended spring training awaiting a team assignment.

His best season, by far, was his 1993 season in which he went 16-4 in 30 starts for the Phillies with a 3.42 ERA and a 1.185 WHIP. In May of 1991, he threw a no-hitter for the Phillies against the Expos.

He played in another 10 games for Anaheim in 2003 but never got back on a major league roster. He last played in independent ball for the Rockland Boulders in Pomona, New York in 2011.

Happy Birthday - 4/6
RHP Euris Quezada (23)
OK, here's the deal. Quezada didn't have very good numbers last year and then he got popped with a 25-game suspension under the drug policy in August, so my heart really isn't in this. If he comes back from the suspension, plays well and keeps out of trouble, I promise I'll do a better birthday write-up for him next year.

Rooting for the Good Ones to Succeed
I was at an Astros game last season and, prior to the start of the game, I was watching the players do their stretching and running and tossing and general loosening up. A group of elementary kids were coming in from right field to get into position to sing the national anthem. Tommy Manzella started messing around with the kids; teasing them by feigning running right over them and then peeling off at the last second; acting like he was going to throw a missile to one of them and then playing a game of toss. The kids were giggling and I think he was too.
Seeing that display and knowing a little of Tommy's history (having lost his mom to cancer a while back and having his family home devastated by Katrina) made me really want him to succeed. It makes me a little sad that he was never able to pull it all together for the Astros organization. I hope that he is able to do great things for the Diamondbacks (as long as he's not playing against any of the Astros teams).
With that said, part of the fun of watching baseball, for me anyway, is rooting for the good guys. Euris Quezada may be a terrific individual. He may come from a background where the pressure to succeed is enormous. He may have never used any PED's. He may have never intended to use that syringe. He may have just made a mistake. But it's not going to be easy for him to convince me that he deserves my support in the same way that Tommy Manzella did. But I'm willing to try if he is.
