September 11, 2008 Reggie Abercrombie had two hits in four trips to the plate which produced two runs and an RBI for the Astros.
Our View:Abercrombie is hitting .319 in 47 AB this season as he tries to prove to the Astros that he deserves a shot to open up the 2009 season with the big league club. He has seen 17 AB so far in September, but his playing time is too sporadic to maintain much value even in NL-only leagues.
August 10, 2008 Reggie Abercrombie has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, according to the AP. Carlos Lee has been placed on the DL as the corresponding move.
Our View:Abercrombie will see some action, but failed to make an impact in his previous stint with the Astros this season as he held a .188 average, and does not merit fantasy consideration.
July 11, 2008 Reggie Abercrombie has accepted an assigment with Triple-A Round Rock, according to the Houston Chronicle. He was designated for assignment on Sunday. Astros' GM Ed Wade said, "Reggie's got a chance to get back and help us. He's got big-league ability, so for him to go back to Round Rock is a win-win. It gives him an opportunity to play every day as promised and gives us an alternative down there if something happens at the major-league level."
Our View:Abercrombie failed to make an impact with a .188 average over 16 at-bats with the Astros this season, and is not worth holding onto in traditional leagues even though the club still thinks he can help them.
July 6, 2008 Reggie Abercrombie has been designated for assignment.
Our View:There's a chance that Abercrombie could be pick up off waivers, but it does not seem likely. He was just 3-for-15 in 13 games with the Astros.
June 27, 2008 Reggie Abercrombie went 1-for-1 and recorded the Astros' only RBI in a 6-1 loss to the Red Sox.
Our View:Abercrombie entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. That was his first RBI of 2008.
