Happy Birthday - 12/14

RHP B. J. Hyatt (23)
Drafted in the 4th round in 2009 out of the University of South Carolina, Hyatt has not pitched since 2009.  He spent the entire 2011 season on the DL and, unfortunately, I was unable to find out any information on his status.

RHP Jack Armstrong (22)
Originally from Florida, Armstrong was drafted in the 3rd round in 2011 out of Vanderbilt.  He signed late and did not play in 2011.  I think we all look forward to seeing his fastball, rumored to be in the mid to high 90's in the coming season.

2B Craig Biggio (46)
Craig played for the Astros from 1988 to 2007.  He played in 2850 games and had 3060 hits, 668 doubles, 55 triples, 291 home runs, 1175 RBI's, 414 stolen bases, and 285 HBP's.  His lifetime batting line was .281/.363/.433/.796.  He won five silver slugger awards, four gold glove awards and appeared in seven All-Star games.  If he doesn't go in to Cooperstown on the first ballot, there is no justice in the world.

RHP Rodrigo Rosario (34)
Pitched in 2 games in 2003 with an ERA of 1.13 and a WHIP of 1.000
