Happy Birthday - 3/15

3B Jose Solano (20)
A NDFA from the Dominican Republic, Solano has played the last two seasons with the DSL Astros.  Although he is currently listed on MiLB.com as a shortstop, he played just about everywhere but short in the 2011 season including pitching an inning.  He hit .282/.348/.336 with 21 stolen bases in 2011.  Oh, and he has a 0.00 ERA and a 1.000 WHIP in his one inning pitched.

One former Astro with a birthday today ~

RHP Wayne Granger (68)
Granger appeared in 55 games for Houston in 1975, going 2-5 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.338 WHIP.  He led the National League in saves in 1970 for the Reds and was named the NL Reliever of the Year in 1969 and 1970.
