    Astros will likely call up Chris Sampson and JR House after there 10 days are over. I would like to see Astros call up Mark McLemore. He is left handed and has nasty stuff. He is already on the 40 man roster. Only 1 spot on 40 man roster but you could create another one by putting Backe on 60 day DL. Brooks Conrad and Joe McEwing are tearing it up lately and could be called up. No one else really deserving call up. I doubt they call up Pence. Josh Anderson could be called up for his speed and is already on the 40 man roster.

    Some of the RR guys will most likely be held back until the Express is done with the playoffs. I imagine Munson will be called up as well.

    I dobut Munson gets called up. Astros already have 4 catchers on 40 man roster in Ausmus, Quintero, House, and Gimnenez. I imagine House will be called up.

    He could be added back if they put Backe on the 60 day DL. He could be used at 1B and they need another lefty bat on the bench. Right now, it's only Palmiero. I would rather Munson up there than OP.
