Express starting pitcher Chris Sampson received the news that all minor leaguers dream of hearing at one point in their careers: You are going to the bigs.

Gallo's the first thought that comes to mind, but would they call up an effective starter to be a random BP guy? Frankly, I know next to nothing about Sampson.

ETA: Wow. I just looked at his stats from the year. His pitching stats look good, but what's the deal with his hitting stats? .542/.565/.522 is insane for a pitcher, even with only 23 AB.

I thought that was a joke.  Gallo

Is it possible that Sampson becomes the fifth starter and Nieve goes to the pen?

Good for him!  Now here's a kid that I've really been rooting for.  Quit baseball as a SS for personal reasons, came back as a pitcher and is going to the bigs.  Talk about beating the odds.  I don't know him personally, but my guess is that he's as hard a worker as you'll see.  You figure he's got to be to take the road he did to the majors.  Again, congrats to Mr. Sampson.

Sure. That's the obvious choice, but Sampson isn't exactly the obvious choice to take his spot, IMO. Makes me wonder if perhaps another pitching move might be at hand. Like I said, though, I know very little about Sampson.

He was originally a SS before leaving the game and eventually returning as a pitcher.

It's the obvious choice to me.  Gallo wasn't getting anyone out.  Lefty, righty, it didn't matter.  It doesn't matter to me that Sampson was a SP in AAA.  Stros MGT has had a enough of Gallo (IMO) and it's time to at least try and make change and upgrade that spot in the pen.  I don't think Sampson is being called up in for the rotation, but if he excells in the pen and Nieve or Bucholtz has a rough run, who knows.

I'm sorry, misunderstood where you were coming from.  I thought you meant that Gallo wasn't the obvious choice to be shown the door.  

As to your point about Sampson being a suprise pick...you'd have to get some input from Greg D or Jack on this for confirmation, but I think Sampson's always been looked at as a RP, at least prior to this season.  Not sure how his success at AAA in '06 might have changed the way the org feels about him.

It's possible but most likely he'll be a long reliever.  He's been looked at as a swingman, 5th starter/long reliever.  He's not in Nieve's class stuffwise, but he's mentally tough and a strong competitor.

His callup might be due to Gallo's ineffectiveness, if it's Gallo that gets sent out, and the recent heavy work by the bullpen.  Once Clemens is added to the roster Sampson may be the guy who gets sent down.

Conveniently, Astros Insider had a profile on Sampson just last night. 28 years old.

I notice Sampson's not on the 40-man roster.  And if I'm counting correctly, it's at 40 now.  So who leaves it?  Bagwell to the 60-day list?

I don't know.  But since he's left-handed, it seems like someone might take a flier on him.  I guess if they DFA him, they can still try to trade him.

Here's my next question, though: Why hasn't any of this shown up on the Astros' web site?  Just the euphoria of RocketMania?  Or are they looking for Gallo to break the news to him? Is he hiding?

This is part of the interview I heard on FSSW after the game replay.  Gallo used a lot of "we" in terms of bouncing back, the team needing to play better, yadda, yadda, yadda.

It gave me an uneasy feeling at the time that perhaps.... perhaps, just maybe, just a little... Gallo wasn't getting it.

Those right spots are, presumably, ones that don't involve opposing batters appearing in the batter's box.  Or perhaps they'll save him for Eddie Gaedel, although the lefty-righty matchup might favor Gaedel.

Knock Fantacrap if you wish, but that is the reason so many stats are now readily available for ... umm... use (I guess that is the best word to use here).

It is such a marketing bonanza that they give you all sorts of stat breakdown choices.  And we are lucky enough to have at least one competent poster who scoures them for useful nuggets, like how many partially decomposing corpses have homered off Gallo.

right, but they're only slugging .230. Those corpses tend to just slap-hit you to death. I agree that Gallo could, in fact hold Gaedel to a single.

I did hear that.  I gathered from the Dolan and Raymond commentary during ST that he doesnt know how to use the thing.  Turning the ringer off while he "broadcasts" from his powder room has got to be a technological nightmare.  I like the recaps for the road games this season.  The only information he has is what he saw on the TV. That and his book signing schedule.

I caught the tail end of Palillo's interview with Lidge today (always an interesting conversation when Charlie isn't talking), and Lidge spoke about how the last week was really bad for Gallo, everyone could see the sword of Damocles swinging wildly over his head, and while he likes Mike and considers him a good friend "he just wasn't performing well enough to stay on the major league level."

Certainly an obvious observation, but quite candid. The Lidge segments on Fridays are worth hearing, they're usually a little after 4:00. Lidge is an intelligent guy and really doesn't hold back in the interviews.

Also, apparantly Bruntlett got a 1440 on his SAT. There's an SI article about the "Three Wise Men of the Astros": Lidge, Bruntlett and Ausmus.

Man, that was brutally honest... but honest none the less.  The thing was, Gallo couldn't or wouldn't see it and man up.  Or maybe everyone in the clubhouse was talking to him about Damocles and Mike thought they were talking Greek Seafood or sumptin.

Based on the way he pitches, I figured he curl up in a fetal position and just start whimpering. It's a good job, but you got to, at the very least, not throw wild pitches when you're intentionally walking someone and there's a man on third, if you want to keep it.
