Happy Birthday - 3/6

Happy Birthday to ~

RF Adam Bailey (25)
Drafted out of the University of Nebraska in the 23rd round in 2010, Bailey spent roughly half the season in Lancaster and half in Corpus Christi with a couple of games at Oklahoma City. His combined batting line was .264/.309/.440 with 26 doubles and ten home runs in 98 games. Bailey was slated to be the DH of the first Corpus Christi playoff game, but instead ended up in the hospital with an emergency appendectomy.

Happy Birthday - 3/6

RF Adam Bailey (24)
Drafted out of the University of Nebraska in the 23rd round in 2010, Bailey moved quickly through the system in 2011.  In 79 games in Lexington, he hit .282 before moving on to Lancaster, where he hit .289 in 30 games, and then ended the season by hitting .323 in 23 games in Corpus Christi.  He was second only to Kody Hinze in home runs (24) and RBI's (95) in the Astros minor league system, while also hitting 24 doubles.  I'd like to see him walk a little more and strike out a little less, but all-in-all, his 2011 season was a success by any measure.  I'd hoped to have an interview with Adam ready for today, but he left for Florida sooner than I expected.  I should have something in the next few days.
