At the start of the year, Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has been good, just not as good as the precedence he set for himself in 2017. After years of getting better with hard work, Altuve reached the pinnacle of winning the World Series in 2017 and the American League MVP award. This is not saying that Altuve has reached his ceiling, but he got off to a slow start with power this year. Altuve did something similar last year but still went on to be the best player in the AL.
In a recent trade in a fantasy baseball league, I traded the hot George Springer for Altuve.
