[edit] Biographical Information
Venezuelan catcher Humberto Quintero was originally signed by the Chicago White Sox and made his pro debut with the Bristol White Sox in 1999. He steadily rose through the Sox system and earned a solid reputation for his defensive skills. Midway through the 2002 season, the Sox traded him to the San Diego Padres for D'Angelo Jimenez, and the following year, he made his big league debut with the Padres. Quintero split 2004 between the Padres and the AAA Portland Beavers, where he hit .317.
Before the 2005 season, Quiroz was sent to the Houston Astros for Tim Redding. He split that season between the Astros and the Round Rock Express despite missing some time due to an appendectomy. He returned to Round Rock to begin the 2006 season.
