Happy Birthday - 2/13

Happy Birthday to ~

RHP Andrew Robinson (26)
Drafted in the 12th round in 2010 out of Georgia Tech, Robinson put up a 3.28 ERA and a 1.236 WHIP in 38 appearances out of the bullpen for Corpus Christi in 2013, but those numbers are somewhat deceptive. After shaking off a bit of rust following infrequent use to start the season (think tandem rotation), he was 4-0 with a 1.69 ERA and a 0.991 WHIP from June through August. He walked only six batters in his final 26 games.

Corpus Christi Manager Keith Bodie (58)
Bodie will manage the Hooks for his third season in 2014 after spending three seasons as a hitting coach at Corpus Christi (2009) and Oklahoma City (2010-2011). He has managed a total of 16 seasons for five different organizations; his record as a manager is 1146-1016.

One former Astro celebrates today ~

RF Matt Mieske (46)
Originally drafted by the Padres in the 17th round in 1990, Mieske came to Houston in a June 1999 trade with the Mariners. In 116 games for the Astros in 1999 and 2000, he hit .237/.286/.384 (although he hit substantially better in 1999 than in 2000).
