Did he clear waivers or is he gone?  And if he's gone, where to?

Ten days.  You have to wait ten days (from the day he was waived which was Saturday).

That's nerve wracking.  He'd make for some mighty fine insurance or trade bait this summer.

His quotes made it sound that way.

Buster Olney's recent blog says the BoSox are looking for a catcher and Q's name came up (along with several others, mind you).  Good for Q if it happens.

Don't think twice, it's alright.

Actually, he hasn't been waived yet.  He was Designated for Assignment (DFA'd) on Sunday, which means the Astros have 10 days to decide what to do with him.  They can trade him, attempt to send him to the minors, or release him.  The latter two require clearing waivers first.  The waiver period is three business days.  So if the Astros request waivers on Q today (Friday), a team has until the following Tuesday to claim him.

Rays and Giants also.  There are several teams, which is good for the Astros for trying to make a trade.  But also good for Quintero when he becomes a free agent and refuses the offer to play in the Astros' minors.

If teams place a waiver claim on him, what is the order?  Can he decline?

It goes first by league, then by record.  So he goes to the NL team with the worst record first, then to the AL team with the worst record.

Well, he can retire from baseball, but no, he cannot refuse the waiver claim.
