Thanks to RJ I stayed away from him this year. I was thinking about grabbing him for the end game. Glad that didn't happen.

Justin Maxwell out a little while with a broken hand. Brandon Barnes gets more ABs. Robbie Grossman gets called up. F-Mart gets called back up. Not sure I love any of these guys but with Barnes or Maxwell could probably help in an AL-only league.

The way their pitching is going, it's a shame Ankiel can't get back on the mound

This was kind of interesting to read, about Astros experimentation in the minors with (1) dual starting pitchers per game, and (2) defensive shifts.
Rosenthal’s focuses on the Astros’ use of duel starting pitchers for each game in the minor leagues. Each team carries eight starters, with the first one going abut 75 pitches, the next coming in and a closer finishing up if necessary. GM Jeff Luhnow explains how it works and why they’re doing it. It makes an awful lot of sense for a team in the Astros’ competitive and developmental position. Actually makes a lot of sense at the lower levels for any team, I would think.
Knobler looks at the Astros’ use of defensive shifts. Shifts are all the rage these days, but the Astros are using far more of them and far more complicated ones than anyone. Coach Eduardo Perez is the shift guru in Houston, and he talks about how it has been implemented and adapted as the season has gone on and various Astros pitchers have weighed in on how they feel about it all.The Astros coming to New York meant that they're getting a lot more of a national spotlight this week.
Maybe KS has some interesting insight on these? I wouldn't be surprised if he was behind them, actually...

i seem to recall a brief discussion of the duel pitching experiment some months ago in which KS chimed in. i hadn't heard about the use of shifts though - interesting..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"
