ATLANTA - Roman Quinn slashed a sinking liner to left. It smacked Mallex Smith and rolled a few feet from the Braves leftfielder. Quinn scurried to second for a double. He did not stand there for long. On the second pitch, he scampered toward third. He beat the throw, which skipped into left field, and Quinn's legs had carried him around the bases like that in the second inning of a 7-6 Phillies loss Tuesday.
"I tried to use my speed as much as possible," Quinn said.
But this is not how Quinn's 15-game big-league tryout will be remembered.
