Happy Birthday -12/16

OF Kellen Kiilsgaard (23)
Originally from Washington, Kellen was drafted in the 30th round in 2010 out of Stanford.  He did not play in 2010 and spent his time in 2011 between Greeneville and Tri-City, playing in 36 games.  Since 2011 was his first season and since it's his birthday, let's just give him a mulligan on his numbers.  Suffice it to say that he didn't win any batting titles. (If you insist on looking at his numbers, go here, but don't say I didn't warn you.)  Kellen has been back at Stanford in the off-season and is a relatively prolific tweeter with a good sense of humor.  In late November, he had this to say about his studies.

RHP Randy Hennis (46)
Many players who only get a cup of coffee in the major leagues probably envy Randy Hennis.  He only got to pitch in 3 games (9.2 innings) in 1990, but he managed to keep his ERA perfect at 0.00 with a WHIP of 0.414.  Nice.

OF Chris Jones (46)
Played in 54 games for Houston in 1992
