The Biggio treatment didn’t happen at the expense of the team because that team sucked and had nobody better to play there. It will be interesting to see what happens here to Altuve if we are still good and he isn’t. I dread that day.
You think if he was close to 3,000 hits he would be on board with this, or that Crane would want to buy him out? This looks IMHO as if it's going to be a what's best for the team vs does Crane want to chash out the way McClane did with Biggio chasing 3,000 hits? It's going to be a tough decision either way there will be significant portions of the fan base that are going to be upset.
