    He was on CBS's gamecast as a bench player for todays game. Guess their data guy got things confused.

    Nice addition to the bench!

    Justin Maxwell is a nice addition as a right hand hitter off the bench. He has some pop has he hit 16 home runs and 35 rbi's in 204 ABs last year at AAA. Maxwell has some speed with 131 minor league career steals.

    Astros will likely send a relief pitcher down, to make room for Maxwell.
