Happy Birthday - 10/24

RHP Jose Perdomo (20)
Originally signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Venezuela, Jose has played three seasons for the Astros organization.  In only five starts in 2011 at Greeneville (none after July 18th), he had an ERA of 9.00 which leads me to believe that there were injury issues.  In 2009 for the DSL Astros, he had a 3.64 ERA and a 1.043 WHIP and in 2010 for the GCL Astros, he had a 1.67 ERA and a 0.978 WHIP.  He is currently on the roster for the Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League, but has not pitched as of this writing.

Also, Darryl Robinson, hitting coach for Lancaster is 44 today.
