JH, I have got to disagree that Altuve is an average Major Leaguer at best. Having one season like he's having this year differentiates him from most average MLer's. All those 6' 2', 225 pound guys who hit an HR every 9 or 10 games, can't run and are hitting .240 have made this a somewhat boring season. The excitement is the Hamilton's, Rajah Davis, and Altuve types who actually play as if they care. Altuve is out hitting his league by some 90 points which is pretty impressive. He has 6 HRs which I will take over all those "big" guys who hit 15-20 and strike out 130 plus times. Brett Gardner is another guy who when given a chance actually has outshown all the big name Yankee players and is probably their most valuable player this year. Look at all the tools BJ Upton has and there is no bigger dog in all the Major Leagues.
