    Yah you are right. When altuve almost got hit by the pitch most comments were about how he was being overdramatic by falling on the ground and that he deserved to be thrown at. When it happened to astros opponent then all of a sudden. Throwing at players is the worst thing ever and biggest sign of cheating. The hypocrisy is at a all time high.

    Baggie was my favorite player growing up. Copied his swing all through little league and highschool. Altuve is the best Astro ever.

    5 years ago - Yes.

    Altuve isn't a top 20 player anymore. Top 50 - yes. Top 20 - no.

    Ok. That makes more sense.

    My bad.

    I'll check it out but off the top of my head I can't think of 100 athletes or 20 baseball players more deserving.

    Edit: just a quick search shows he is 22nd in fWAR since 2000 and that doesn't include post season.

    So because he is in the discussion regular season, post season should punch his ticket.
