    Looks like Cole is back on the sticky stuff. Anyone see the fiasco yesterday with German and Baldelli?

    How do you take Dubon out of the lineup if he is still batting this well when Altuve returns?

    You don't. He will be pretty much playing a different position every day and giving players a day off. He can play every position except catcher and first base. He could probably play first base also. So every player would get a day off every other week or so.

    It's a big if since that's 6 weeks or more from now. If he was still hitting like this then Dubon could still get penalty of starts by rotating days off for regulars.

    So, I'm curious.... After the 2005 World Series I couldn't bare watching the Astros anymore.... I think I tried but the following year they lost Beltran and started off slow. I faintly remember news about The Astros and this little guy named Altuve. If I watched any little bit of baseball and saw Altuve I sincerely thought he was trash during his early days, when news started going round that The Astros were good and led by Altuve I was surprised. Do you or anyone remember if Altuve started off like Duban? Is there any chance he turns out similar? Maybe Altuve was a stud from the day 1 but I just don't know....

    altuve made the allstar as a rookie with a league average OPS, so he wasn't an allstar caliber player but he was alright

    Dubon's skinny ass playing first base would be amusing lol. Not because he couldn't do it, but because he's a twig.
