Happy Birthday to ~
RHP Murilo Gouvea (25)
Obtained in a 2009 trade with the White Sox for future considerations, the Brazilian-born Gouvea was a workhorse out of the Lexington bullpen in 2012. In 50 appearances, he was 2-7 with a 3.71 ERA and a 1.171 WHIP. He went on to pitch successfully for Team Brazil in the World Baseball Classic during the 2012/2013 off-season, but ended up starting and finishing the 2013 season on the DL.
OF Ariel Ovando (20)
Signed by the Astros out of the Dominican Republic as a NDFA in 2010 (for a ginormous $2.6 million dollar signing bonus), Ovando started the 2013 season at Quad Cities (.172/.250/.219 in 49 games) before being sent back to Greeneville for his third season there. In 51 games at Greeneville, he hit .216/.310/.333 with eight doubles, four home runs and 21 RBI.
RHP Jason Stoffel (25)
Originally drafted by the Giants in the fourth round in 2009, Stoffel was obtained (along with Henry Sosa) in the Jeff Keppinger trade in July 2011. Stoffel started the season with Corpus Christi (in seven games, he had a 1.23 ERA and a 1.227 WHIP) before being promoted to Oklahoma City. In 44 appearances with the RedHawks, he was 8-1 with a 3.47 ERA and a 1.267 WHIP.
