“J.J. should continue to be a player that hits 20+ HRs with ease. The batting average and RBI numbers could really hurt you, or it could turn out being one of the steals of the draft. Whatever the case, J.J. offers a lot of power for a position that does not offer much.”

“Altuve is ready to steal 40 Bases in a season. The 7 HRs are a bit fluky considering he is listed at a modest 5'5, but that's what playing in Houston will do for you.”

 

“The 22-year-old is a future elite second baseman. For now, expect .300 and close to 40 steals, and hope for double-digit homers. ”

 

“unlike some of the aging veterans at the position you know you can practically count on 30+ steals and around a .280 or better avg, but I wouldn't reach for him”

 

“Led 2B in SB (33) but sorry 'Stros lineup will do him no favors in '13”

 

“Altuve's a steals and runs guy. He's perfect for that pesky 'MI' position that so many managers struggle to fill. Short joke. Astros joke.”
