Last year, he was 6-4 with a 3.25 in 13 games (12 starts) for the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Carolina League before he was promoted to the Northwest Arkansas Naturals of the Texas League (AA). With the Naturals, Caldera was 3-2 with a 5.12 ERA in eight games (seven starts). Between the two stops, Caldera pitched 113.1 innings and allowed 53 runs (49 earned) on 113 hits. He recorded 99 strikeouts and walked just 38 batters.
Bailey, who was traded for a player to be named later, was 0-1 with a 13.43 ERA in two games for Fargo-Moorhead this year.
