Houston Astros: Tony Kemp needs to be the DH the rest of the playoffs

My, oh my, what a series. The Houston Astros jumped out of the gate red hot in the ALDS and finished it on Monday red hot. In a three-game sweep, the Astros won 7-2, 3-1, and finally an 11-3 thrashing to end the series.

During the first two games, the Astros used Tyler White as their primary DH. During the month of August, White had one the best spurts baseball saw this season. He hit .325 with an OBP of 1.095 while also collecting 23 RBIs and 14 extra base hits, eight of which were home runs.
