2 more hits today has Altuve up to 2,156 for his career, tied for #204 with Magglio Ordonez. Ordonez had a career year in 2007 at age 33 with the Tigers, winning the batting title at .363 with 54 doubles, 28 HR, 139 RBi and 216 hits. he hit over .300 each of the next three years, but hurt his ankle during the 2010 season and had significant dropoff in 2011, reinjuring the ankle in a playoff game with the Rangers in 2011. He never played again.

he would not have made the HOF, but it's a good lesson in how quickly things change. He never hit lower than .292 from 1998-2010, an had 7 100 RBI years, but 2 injuries and it was lights out.

Steroids probably had a lot to do with Magglio's amazing highs and his sudden breakdown.

Up to 11th in the power rankings through yesterday

11. Houston Astros
Record: 44-42
Previous ranking: 13
The Astros went from 31-38 to favorite's status in the AL West in a flash. Well, more like a series of flashes, most of them with Houston's suddenly revived bats. After the loss that dropped them to that seven-gamers-under-.500 nadir, the Astros were on pace to score 717 runs, which would be their lowest total in more than a decade. After a 12-3 surge, that pace had risen to 754, a more representative total for the Astros of recent vintage. Leading the charge have been familiar faces Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve, who combined to hit .330/.398/.560 over the last 14 games of June. -- Doolittle

Watching the Tourists vs the Drive right now. I'm thinking next visit out that way that we'll need to take in a game.

Astros just need to keep winning games and the rest will sort itself out

If any team knows about "fading back" it's the Arlington dips*its.

They are 3 games out of the NL wild card, I can't see them selling anybody after they made it to the world series as the last wild card team last year

We definitely need some help at 1b, but it's not necessary to give up the farm for Vlad Junior. Hell, I'd take Justin Turner, who will also be uo for grabs but for much less. We just need someone who is not a hole in the lineup.

As a bonus, he's got lots of experience in the postseason.

Yandy Diaz, Josh Bell and Andrew Vaughn are also solid. Probably reasonably priced and names I have seen on prospective trade deadline lists.

It's from this article. I haven't heard anything about the Astros and Walker on my end…. recently.

As far as you know are they still trying to pursue Vlad Jr?

Can I start pounding the Whitley drum now that HB is pretty settled in? Wishful thinking says he could replace Montero on next year's roster...
All I do is Nguyen
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Is Whitley a reliever? I am hoping either Spaghetti figures it out or gets bumped to a relief role f he can't go for more than a couple innings. I hate we desperately need is a 4/5 starter that's reliable

I know Garcia is coming back (had a rough showing in CC today) along with JV and LMC (hopefully). But like I've said as nauseam over the years, we can never have too much pitching
