So you are a baseball fan and opened a case of cards but don't know who Jose Altuve is? You also assume Altuve is not that good? What baseball do you watch? Just curious.

Jose Altuve - star 2B for Houston. Played in the AS game this year....and 2016.....and 2015....and 2014....and wait for it....2013.

This year's stats: 165 hits, 35 2B, 3 3B, 18 HR, 65 RBI, 26 SB, .363 BA, .423 OBP.

Was a 20/20 player last year. Should be again this year.

Leading the league in BA (next closest is 18 points behind him).

Eighth in the league in runs, fourth in OBP, eighth in OPS, and fifth in SB.
He's a pretty alright 2B as well.

I would say the guy is a little alright. An Auto /50 of him is a GOOD hit. Maybe it wasn't a Judge hit, but Altuve is a much better player than Judge is.
