Man, I know the money spent on Altuve could probably be used better, but there is just something right about rewarding one of the guys who helped build this team to where it is today by taking a more friendly contract earlier in his career and who has done it with a fantastic attitude.
As a Biggio guy growing up, Altuve is right there with him in my adult years. Couldn't be happier for the Astros and Altuve. I love that man.
Altuve clears Biggio by a wide margin. And Biggio was my childhood hero.

Craig Biggio played for the @astros from 1988 thru 2007. He played 2B from 1992 to 2002 and 2005-2007.
Jose Altuve played for the #Astros from 2011 thru 2023 and he has played 2B the whole time. He will be playing for Astros now until…
Some perspective on the 2nd base position in Houston for the last 30+ years.
Oh and those 03/04 teams had a pretty solid 2nd baseman as well. We've been spoiled at that position
And don't forget Billy Doran before that.
For my own selfish reasons, I'd say yes.AgLA06 said:
Let's say he stays healthy and achieves all those milestones, yet falls 50 hits short of 3,000. Does he ask for another year? Do the Stros push him to do do even if it's a platoon / mentor role that machete should have played last year?
Made the other team's buttholes pucker up he was that impactful.agproducer said:
And -- the best Astros 2B of all-time -- Kaz Matsui.

"We had a guy who had a triple and 2 doubles, and they said he probably needs a day off because he did so much running! ... You go tell Brandon Nimmo he can't play today because he hit too well last night."

The Marlins claimed reliever Declan Cronin off waivers from the Astros. Houston designated Cronin for assignment last week to create a 40-man roster spot for Trey Cabbage.
