In 322 games for Houston, he hit .223/.340/.340. Since retiring from playing, Bailey has been a coach in the Astros system. He served as bullpen coach for the Astros from 2002 to 2009 and has since served as a minor league hitting and catching coach.

LHP Travis Blackley (32)
Originally signed by the Mariners as a free agent in 2000, the Australian native came to Houston in an April 2013 trade with Oakland that sent OF Jake Goebbert to the A's.
