Congrats Altuve!

I can't believe La Russa chose Ian Desmond of the Nationals at back up SS over Lowrie. I can't see a way that any of the three NL SS's (Fookie, Castro and Desmond) are having a better season than Lowrie. Those were terrible picks.

Great news. Here's to hoping that it's the first of many for Jose.

Desmond has one few HR and a lower OPS. But he has a higher average and more runs, RBIs, and steals. And he plays for the best team in the NL, which probably carried some weight. Castro is a bit more questionable - is he the only Cub?

You can make a strong case that Aaron Hill deserved to be on the team more then Altuve. Ian Desmond and Starlin Castro are better overall players then Lowrie. Just don't look at HRs. Lowrie did deserve it more then Rafael Furcal though.

No, Lahair made it.

Lowrie definitely was snubbed. Best SS in the NL this season, and 3 SS make the team, and not one is Lowrie.

Who is looking at just HR?

1st in Slugging
1st in OBP

Lowrie has a better fldg % than Castro and Desmond, and a higher range factor than Furcal and Desmond.

It is a joke. Couldn't even make the final vote ballot.

Altuve was #28 on Baseball America's Top 30 for the Astros system in 2011.

Congrats to Altuve! Well deserved and hopefully one of many to come in an Astros uni


On Lowrie...I think the win total is totally valid for Desmond given that they're in the same general area so far this year in terms of stats. But Castro over Lowrie is a joke given that the Cubs already have another player in
