“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.”

 

“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.”

“Cuddyer was primed to be a 30/100 player before injuries cut his season short. He comes into 2013 with a clean bill of health, and some surprise speed to show us that 13 SBs with those 30 HRs was definitely possible. Do not sleep on Cuddyer who has a HUGE edge playing for the Rockies, wait till he plays there in the Summer.”
