Jose Altuve flying under the radar, starting another ridiculous season

Clint Frazier has some wheels, really like his game....Please don't trade him for some rag that's 30+ years old....Thank you....

So worried about that, outside of De Grom or Mad Bum, they should be able to acquire that next tier guy without including Frazier

Jose Altuve flying under the radar, starting another ridiculous season

He had a power slump to start the season (slugged only .374 through his first 25 games despite a .333 BA, only 4 doubles), but he's hitting .353/.404/.554 with 25 XBH since.

Pretty cool to have someone that can hit for such high batting averages while bringing power and speed.

Jose Altuve flying under the radar, starting another ridiculous season

At age 16, Altuve attended a Houston Astros' tryout camp in Maracay. However, the team's scouts declined to allow him to participate because they decided he was too short and they suspected that he had lied about his age. The next day, with encouragement from his father, Altuve returned to the camp and produced his birth certificate. Al Pedrique, then a special assistant for the Astros, asked Altuve, "Can you play?" Altuve looked him in the eye and said, 'I'll show you." Pedrique championed him to the front office, convincing them that he had the talent and strength to eventually play in the major leagues.The club gave him an evaluation, and, after he impressed team officials, they signed him to a contract as an undrafted free agent on March 6, 2007, with a $15,000 (USD, $17,703.4 today) bonus.......Pretty amazing story.....

Severino not especially sharp today

 

[nynasty]

Pitcher's best friend.

We're still getting multiple Chad Green innings today I'm thinking.

 

[nynasty]

Frazier goes the other way so well.

Wait until he learns to elevate those....

Paxton with the complete game, 107 pitches through 5.....Ouch.....
