Altuve patiently becoming a solid hitter

When Jose Altuve was first promoted to the Major Leagues last season, the big curiosity was if a 5'5 player could actually stick and produce on a big league roster. Altuve had hit-and hit exceptionally well- at every level in the minor leagues, yet his size created doubt at the big-league level. In addition, while Altuve dominated at every level once he adjusted to the caliber...

2B Jose Altuve leading Astros

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer At 5-foot-5, Jose Altuve is the shortest player in the majors.

Anywhere in the batting order, Altuve produces

The only one who doesn't find the Jose Altuve lineup odyssey all that interesting, it seems, is Jose Altuve. The Houston Astros second baseman has hit second, he's hit eighth, he made a quick jaunt up to the No. 6 spot in one unusual lineup, and he was back to second for his 4-for-5 effort Wednesday. Through all the inconsistency there, Altuve has been one of the most...

Jose Altuve, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper

You don’t want two shortstops on your team.  You don’t even really want one shortstop, but rules dictate you have to have one.  So if you only want one shortstop that means you need two 2nd basemen if you have a middle infielder slot.  To take that one step further, you need a sleeper from the 2nd basemen in most instances because you’ll be drafting your middle infielder...
