Reinforcing the Astros - August 17 and 18

The Astros lead in the AL West has now entirely evaporated, along with any of this "run scoring" thing that the stats nerds are so obsessed with these days. The argument that the Astros could do with some reinforcing is a strong one - in particular the roles of Evan Gattis (.194/.206/.452 in August), Yuli Gurriel (.183/.221/.268 over the last 28 days) and Josh Reddick (.200/.263/.343 in August) would be in danger from Tyler White and a cast of others... if only anyone were to be tearing the cover off the ball. Stay posted to find out if any of the Astros farmhands are, in fact, doing that.
