Phillies Trying Roman Quinn At Shortstop
7 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies are giving outfield prospect Roman Quinn a try at shortstop at camp, despite the fact that he hasn't played there since 2014 and amassed 61 errors in 149 games in the low minors at the position. The Phillies value positional versatility, and if Quinn can prove adequate on the infield, it will drastically improve his chances of making the major league roster for Opening Day. The 24-year-old Quinn is in the mix for a reserve spot after hitting .274 with a .344 on-base percentage in 45 games in 2017 at the Triple-A level before injuring his elbow. Helping his chances are the fact that he can play all three outfield positions, but his health is the biggest thing keeping him down to this point. Quinn won't be on many peoples' fantasy radar, but he is one to watch in dynasty/keeper leagues, mainly for his speed.

Roman Quinn Signed By Rays
3 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays signed veteran outfielder Roman Quinn on Thursday. The 29-year-old was released by the Kansas City Royals just a day earlier. The Rays will be Quinn's third team this season as he began the year with the Philadelphia Phillies. He will be one of the team's replacements to outfielder Harold Ramirez (thumb), who fractured his thumb right before the All-Star break. Quinn has slashed just .162/.225/.189 at the plate this year, but he's stolen 43 bases across 201 MLB games dating back to 2016.

Roman Quinn, Brad Peacock Released By Royals
3 years agoThe Kansas City Royals released three players from its Triple-A Omaha roster on Wednesday -- outfielder Roman Quinn and right-handed pitchers Brad Peacock and Brandon Barker. Quinn began the 2022 season with the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was designated for assignment by the team in early June. After clearing waivers, he elected free agency and signed with the Royals. The 29-year-old hit just .162/.225/.189 over 23 games with the Phillies this year. Peacock, meanwhile, had been down at Triple-A Omaha all year. Over 35 relief appearances, he pitched to a stellar 1.64 ERA and 1.28 WHIP. Given those solid results, it seems likely the 34-year-old will land another minors contract soon.
