The White Sox system is so thin that they signed Quintana and fellow lefthander Donnie Veal as minor league free agents this offseason and added both to the 40-man roster. Quintana originally signed out of Colombia with the Mets in 2006 but drew his release a year later before hooking up with the Yankees in 2008. He went 10-2, 2.91 as a swingman at high Class A Tampa in 2011, in what was his first extended taste of full-season ball. Though Quintana has averaged 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings as a pro, he's more notable for his ability to repeat his high three-quarters delivery and throw strikes than for his stuff. He has a pedestrian 88-91 mph fastball with minimal movement, forcing him to rely too much on his solid curveball. He telegraphs his changeup, often throwing it with too much velocity and not enough movement. He's another project for White Sox roving pitching instructor Kirk Champion, and Quintana figures to start the season at Double-A Birmingham after getting some time in big league camp.
