Brunt is Back!
Phil "Crapiron" Garner gets his wish: Eric Bruntlett returns:
The Astros recalled utility infielder Eric Bruntlett and catcher Humberto Quintero from Round Rock on Monday and optioned catcher J.R. House and pitcher Chris Sampson to the Triple-A affiliate.
Bruntlett hit .250 with nine RBIs in 55 games for the Astros this season. He was optioned to Round Rock on Aug. 2 and hit .219 in 22 games for the Express, with one home run and seven RBIs.
He brings with him catcher Humberto Quintero, who is too large to stuff in the overhead bin.
Getting roundrocked are pitcher Chris Sampson and J.R. House, who has the most number of at-bats in an Astros uniform this year without a hit (beating Hirsch by 1 and Joe McEwing by 3).
