Happy Birthday - 12/4

1B Koby Clemens (25)
Am I the only one who is shocked to realize that Koby is only 25?  Drafted out of high school in 2005, he's now been in the Astros system for seven seasons.  In 2011, he played in his first season at AAA and put up a .234/.331/.424/.756 batting line with 21 doubles, two triples and sixteen home runs.  He was granted free agency this off-season and was playing for Mayaguez in the Puerto Rican winter league before he went AWOL.
