Adam Heether

Adam Ricky Heether (born January 14, 1982) is a minor league baseball third baseman. In 2005, he was named to the Florida State League All-Star team.

Heether was drafted twice by the Colorado Rockies in 2000 and 2001, but did not sign. He was later drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 11th round of the 2003 amateur draft. He began his career that year, playing for their Rookie League AZL Brewers and Class A Beloit Snappers. He returned to Beloit for the 2004 season. Heether was promoted to their Class A-Advanced Brevard County Manatees and then their Double-A Huntsville Stars in 2005. That season, Heether was named to the Florida State League All-Star team. He played at the same two clubs in 2006. After playing the entire 2007 in Huntsville, Heether was promoted to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds prior to the start of the 2008 season. Heether returned to Huntsville just after the start of the 2008 season, but only spent a few weeks their before returning to Nashville were he put in a solid 2008 year. As history repeats itself, just after the start of the 2009 season Heether again was sent to Huntsville due to Mat Gamel and Alcides Escobar getting all the playing time. Adam returned to Nashville after a few weeks to put up very solid numbers for 2009 and at one time hitting over .340. Heether became a free agent at the end of the 2009 season with Nashville.

On June 3, 2010, Heether was claimed off waivers by the Oakland Athletics and was optioned to AAA Sacramento. He was designated for assignment on August 3.
