ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE
This is the last day for Arizona Fall League action. Salt River (22-16) will take on Surprise (26-10) in the Championship Game to be aired on the MLB Network at 2:00 CST. Jake Goebbert has been announced as being in the starting line-up.
WINTER LEAGUES
First a couple of tidbits. Koby Clemens went AWOL down in Puerto Rico and is now barred from playing in the Puerto Rican, Venezuelan and Dominican Leagues. The last game he played in was on November 9th which happens to be the same day that Wilson Ramos was kidnapped. That could just be a coincidence, but I personally doubt it. Secondly, apparently Brett Wallace has been released by Escogido. The last game he appeared in was on November 13th and he is no longer listed on the Escogido roster. UPDATED TO ADD - Here is a link from Wednesday that confirms that Wallace was released.

Magallanes over La Guaira 6-4
Jose Altuve had a perfect night, going 4-4 with a double and he scored two runs. He is now hitting .412 over 102 AB's with a .441 OBP, .559 SLG & 1.000 OPS.
All other teams had the day off.
Here are the cumulative stats for all Astros players on rosters for the Arizona Fall League or Caribbean Winter League teams through 11/14. 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.

Salt River over Mesa 7-6
This game was tied at 1-1 going into the later innings before the scoring floodgates opened. Jake Goebbert delivered a bases-loaded 3-RBI double in the bottom of the sixth to give Salt River the lead. Ineffective pitching by Salt River in the top of the seventh gave the lead back to Mesa, but Salt River came back to score two more times to get the win.
Jake Goebbert was 3-4 with a double, three RBI's and scored two runs for the MLB network cameras. Josh Zeid pitched one inning and recorded one strikeout. Zeid's control was a bit sketchy at times, but the outing was nonetheless effective.
The win gave Salt River a little more cushion as their lead in the AFL East extended to 3.5 games with 5 games left to play. Salt River's magic number over Mesa is now at 2.

I'm fairly new at REALLY tracking the minor leagues and I learned something new today. I had wondered why a few of the players that were on the main roster for the Venezuelan League hadn't played yet. Well, several of them HAD actually played, but the Venezuelan League has its own version of the minors and some were playing there. I know this because Appy Astros has educated me once again, and I am truly grateful.
When I update the cumulative stats next week, I will include these other players that are toiling away in the Venezuelan minor leagues.

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.

ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE
Salt River over Phoenix 10-7
Not exactly a pitcher's duel in Phoenix today. Jacob Goebbert went 1-4 with an RBI single, a walk, a strikeout and he scored a run.

After getting his first two batters to strike out on foul tips, he gave up a single and three consecutive walks before being pulled. All of his runners subsequently scored so he was charged with four earned runs but he lucked out in that he didn't end up with a loss. Josh Zeid pitched one inning with a walk and a strikeout.
