PrintWith Taylor Buchholz getting sent down the other day is Hirsh a lock to get called up? Is this his last start at AAA Round Rock tonight? Has anyone heard who the Astros plan on filling out the rotation with? I didn't see anything in the Houston Chronicle and was curious if the Astros plan on starting his clock. I believe he's already 24 so I don't see what they're waiting for. Perhaps tonight is his last tune-up.

Sampson
According to Yahoo, Chris Sampson was called up when Buchy was sent down. Albers is also still up...
Funny...I was coming to ask about him too...
They have called up Sampson and Albers and left him down. My brother said it has something to do with not starting his "clock" whatever that means. But right now it looks like one of those two will take the start.
"clock"
Has to do with after 2 years or 3 years he would be first eligible for arbitration. A certian percent of players become what is called "super two's" (I think 17 percent) Those are the 17 percent with at least 2 years but not 3 years of eligibility.
Moving into Arbitration early is great for players bad for teams. When last collective bargining agreement was signed owner wanted to, but of course failed, to eliminate the "Super 2's
