Happy Birthday - 10/16

RHP Enerio del Rosario (26)
Acquired from the Reds in 2010 for cash considerations, this Dominican native earned an opening day roster spot on the 2011 Astros due in large part to terrific spring training numbers.  In 12 games, he had a 0.00 ERA with 3BB and 11 SO's.  In 54 appearances during the regular season, he was 0-3 with a 4.58 ERA and a 1.700 WHIP.  And just because I love it so much, here is del Rosario's rookie road trip photo from Alyson Footer's blog.

LHP Travis Blankenship (24)
Drafted in the 31st round in 2010 out of the University of Kansas, Travis had a strong second year in the Astros organization.  Over 21 appearances with Tri-City, he went 1-2 with a 3.91 ERA, a 1.067 WHIP and a very good SO/BB ratio of 3.50.  His ERA against lefties was 0.00 with 1BB and 11 SO's.
