In honor of my Chicagoland Tournament choice of the 1987 Chicago Cubs, here’s Luis Quinones (that’s “kee-Nyo-naze” for you gringos) from the team.
For the Cubbies, Luis hit .218 in 101 at-bats with six doubles and ten walks. He didn’t break the .300 mark in either slugging (.277) or OBP (.288).
| Split | G | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | SB | BB | SO | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1987 Totals | 49 | 111 | 101 | 12 | 22 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 10 | 16 | .218 | .288 | .277 |
To be fair, Quinones’ 1987 card isn’t totally useless. He’s a fast base runner and he plays three infield positions. However, don’t expect him to hit unless perhaps, there’s a runner on third base. He has power numbers 6-6.
His batting average is bad enough to warrant a 51-39 as well.
Ugly numbers: 51-39, 66-6
As bad as this card is, Quinones’ .218 average in 1987 was actually an improvement from his previous two years of .190 and .179. He didn’t get much better throughout his eight-year career with a lifetime .226 average.
Quinones is probably best known for his game-winning rbi in the final game of the NLCS for the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds (who always seem to get the most out of their players in the postseason) defeated the Pirates 2-1 and won the Series 4-2.
Maybe Luis will make the final cut for me.
