Berkman used to do that quite a bit.  Oppo into the Crawford Boxes.  Or at least that is my recollection.

Yep. Crawford Boxes will help Alvarez more right where they are than moving to right field. Might be an exaggeration but when he launches one to right he doesn't need a short porch. But his routine flies the other way will get out a bunch because of them, and he's one of those power hitters who hits high backspin fly balls the other way.

The Astros should trade for Benintendi. He hits very well against the Yankees. His OPS against us is in the high 600s. Let Meyers be the 4th OF, defensive replacement for Brantley. Then resign Benintendi (he's currently making $8M, combining Brantley's two deals, 4-$64M, with the Astros would be a good start) in the offseason to replace Brantley and Jake can be the CF again.

This. The Royals acquired Benitendi for a bag of Skittles. I doubt the Red Sox would trade with the Astros, but they should have been involved.
