Hey, so let's take a look at how the Astros' bats are doing this September, playing virtually meaningless games (although they haven't really played a meaningful game - in 2011 terms, anyway - since 2010):
Humberto Quintero (34 PAs): .206/.206/.265, 5K:0BB
Carlos Lee (59 PAs): .291/.339/.600, 2K:3BB
Jose Altuve (40 PAs): .135/.158/.189, 6K:1BB
Clint Barmes (50 PAs): .311/.380/.556, 10K:4BB
Jimmy Paredes (52 PAs): .320/.333/.340, 11K:1BB
Jason Bourgeois (36 PAs): .371/.389/.371, 1K:1BB
J.D. Martinez (67 PAs): .233/.313/.267, 19K:6BB
Brian Bogusevic (42 PAs): .275/.310/.400, 10K:2BB
Jordan Schafer (51 PAs): .191/.255/.277, 14K:4BB
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
