    it think the problem is people under appreciating the art of hitting .300. It's not easy, only 30 players in the whole league with qualifying at bats can consistently be in the mix to do it.
    The taking more balls can come with a different approach. The radio broadcast, which is so much better than the tv guys, said it best," The problem with guys like altuve is they think they can hit every pitch. And they can."

    And he is so young. Biggio took it to god level at the age of 27. At the age of 25, altuve has already had 2 more impressive years than a young craig.

    It could be that in two years altuve never makes another all star game and retires to start a dancing school for impoverished kids who want to be better dancers.
    But right now, he is one of the best to play that position. Don't disrespect the single. it will always be a part of the game.

    At this point, I would be interested in seeing this dance school. Can anyone join this school or must you be impoverished?

    We love .300 average, but we love .360 OBP even more
