Backe arrested in wedding brawl: Astros pitcher Brandon Backe was among 10 people arrested during a brawl with police at a weekend wedding reception in a Galveston hotel bar. The bride's father, 19-year-old brother and a FEMA coordinator were also arrested Sunday at the hotel, a command center for emergency workers after Hurricane Ike went through Galveston Island on Sept. 13. Police spokesman Capt. Walter Braun said an internal affairs investigation has been launched. The 30-year-old Backe, a member of the wedding party, ignored police orders to back away from the fight, and struggled with officers who attempted to handcuff him, according to police reports. One officer said he Backe twice in the face before handcuffing him. Both the officer and Backe sustained minor injuries during the fight, according to the police report. Backe was charged with interfering with a police officer and resisting arrest, misdemeanors.

Fantasy Analysis

Backe finishes the season with a 6.05 ERA and doesn't have enough upside for you to think he'll rebound in a major way next season. Leave him for NL-only leagues at this point. He might have a rotation spot to lose in spring training, but the way he has pitched suggests he has a pretty good chance to lose it.
