“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”

“Is there any player less recognized for his consistent production year in and year out?”

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

“Mr. Rock Steady in a .300/25/100 kind of way”

“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.”

 

“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.”

“While we want to think Holliday will continue to improve, at the age of 33 we may have seen his last days of hitting 30 HRs. You can draft him for that total in 2013, but just know after 27 in 2012 it is not likely to get much higher than that. ”

 

“One of the most underrated players in the game”
