Happy Birthday to ~
RHP Kyle Weiland (27)
Drafted by Boston in the third round in 2008, Weiland came to Houston in a December 2011 trade along with Jed Lowrie for Mark Melancon. Weiland only pitched in three games for Houston at the beginning of 2012 before having surgery on his right shoulder, reportedly to clean out an infection. And then he was never heard from again and was rumored to be abiding on Weiland Island with Jack Armstrong, Chase Davidson and the other players who have been "disappeared" during their recovery from injuries. But then there was this sighting in August. Now you know as much as I do.
One former Astro with a birthday today ~
SS Pat Listach (46)

He played 52 games with the Astros that season, putting up a .182 BA and .247 OBP, before being released July 1, 1997. He did not play another major league game.
