They have a glut of prospects at 2nd 23 and under, that's why they are willing to trade him.

I'll take jed lowrie for less than they want for altuve.
Play him as second this year, and then he can take peralta's spot at SS next year.

Yes, he does.
Came up July 27th last year

Your own link confirms he came up last year. and has a full season of AB's under his belt.
Are you a troll or just a dick. Lol

Haha no, no, dude. Your last post was you trying to call me out about number of games played when you were wrong. Yes, Altuve has a season's worth of at-bats under his belt. So what? Keep sitting on your hands waiting for him if you think he's proven, but I don't see August and September at-bats last season against Triple A call ups from the Pirates, Cubs and Padres and three months this season as anything close to proven. Calling him proven for a season's worth of at-bats in which he hit .290 in the NL Central is just laughable.

How would I have set you and RPMad straight on how many games he's actually played if I didn't know he played last year? I have him in a keeper league

You aren't even aware of how to spell the franchise's name correctly and I'm supposed to take your baseball IQ seriously? Reds finished under .500, dude... and while the Cardinals did win, they needed the biggest final month collapse in the history of the Wild Card era to get in. Of course Altuve was going to get at-bats for HOU last year. His team was 50 games under .500. gHost and Ross would have gotten at-bats.

Haha like I said man... I have him in a keeper league. I know how many games he's played and how long he's been around. You and others didn't know how many games he's played, obviously. You're avoiding that point quite vehemently. If you think being on a lineup card and soaking up September ABs for a franchise that is 50 games under .500 is proving yourself then sure... go ahead and think that. I guess Robert Fick was proving himself for the Tigers in 2002 when they lost 106 games. He's done so much since. Altuve, with an OBP that was under .300 last year, has three months solid and one All-Star appearance to go on and really that's it. There's no way I'd trade for that overall uncertainty, especially with what the Astros will want in return... which is quite a bit.

You'll probably reply to none of this and just keep reverting back to my previous posts, so enjoy this thread you created in which you spelled the name of an MLB franchise incorrectly.
