Jose Oquendo

Jose Manuel Oquendo "Secret Weapon" Contreras
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Born: July 4, 1963 in Rio Piedras, PR
Signed: 1979 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the St. Louis Cardinals with Mark J. Davis for Angel Salazar and John Young, April 1985

 

Jose was the Rey Ordonez of the mid-1980s, and it looked as if he were going to be consigned to a career as a defensive specialist. Once he was traded to the Cardinals, however, he developed a fine batting eye, and spent the best part of five years as a starting second baseman across the bag from Ozzie Smith. He is pictured here on his 1993 Upper Deck card.
