Houston's most underappreciated GM was Ed Wade. You have to give him credit for his draft philosophy. He was responsible for bringing in Jose Altuve, Dallas Keuchel, and George Springer to Houston and to the major leagues. He was a great precursor to Jeff Luhnow, and you've got to give Ed Wade credit for getting this thing going. He was the real impetus to accelerating the Astros' player development, and those results led to what we see today.
For 3000 career hits Altuve needs to average about 160 per year for the next six years. (just a bit less to hit it exactly). If he is really close and remotely healthy enough, he could play one more year after that. While postseason stats don’t add to regular season career records, Altuve has 117 postseason hits as well, which is just about insane to believe.
Congrats to José Altuve!
Ben and Alex, Altuve is well-deserved and made for this. I believe he's the only Astro to be an All-Star in both leagues with the same team.
IMO, Altuve has already Surpassed Biggio
WHOA bold statement
The little guy..............with the big career.
Astro for life 💪
