Barmes out 4-6 weeks

[love_that_reefer]

Clint Barmes will miss 4-6 weeks with a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal on his left hand.
Barmes was hit on the hand by a pitch in Friday's game and said he thought he'd be fine, but evidently that's not the case. With Jeff Keppinger also sidelined, Angel Sanchez is likely to open the season as the Astros' starting shortstop. Barmes figures to be back with the 'Stros at some point in May.

Wow! The Astros are going to be beyond terrible at SS to start the year. Cristian Guzman is still out there Seriously, the Astros have a big hole at SS an definitely need to go outside the organization to fill it.

Yeah Angel Sanchez has been on fire and one of the few Astros doing anything offensively. Thanks for making me look like a dick!

I thought you'd be used to it by now

I thought their shortstop was that Tommy Manzella guy?
