All other Caribbean League teams had the day off.

With a h/t to Appy Astros, Jose Altuve was named player of the week for the Venezuelan League with a torrid week at the plate.  You owe it to yourself to read the press release as translated by Google Translator for a really good chuckle (I guffawed).

Here are the cumulative stats for all Astros players on rosters for the Arizona Fall League or Caribbean Winter League teams through 11/7.  If there are no stats, the player hasn't been in a game yet.  For now, I am including those players who played for the Astros in 2011 but are now free agents as some of those players may still end up re-signing with the Astros at some point.  I will mark the free agents with an asterisk on the stats table and in the recaps.
