Happy Birthday - 12/21

C Pedro Coa (19)
Signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Venezuela, Coa spent his first professional season with the DSL Astros.  His .186/.263/.198/.461 batting line doesn't give credit to the improvement he showed by hitting .257 post All-Star and .292 with runners in scoring position.
