| News | ||
| Jose Altuve went 0-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 Grapefruit League win over the Tigers. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Mon, Mar 9th | ||
| Jose Altuve (illness) is expected to return to Grapefruit League action on Friday. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Wed, Mar 4th | ||
| Jose Altuve will not play in Tuesday’s game, he has the same illness that has been going around the Astros clubhouse and should be back soon. Aaron Hudson Tue, Mar 3rd | ||
| Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports the Astros have come to terms on a two-year contract with manager Dusty Baker. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Wed, Jan 29th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Altuve hit a career-high 31 homers last year but still only finished as the #10 fantasy second basemen because the steals have disappeared and his batting average has continued to drop. With that said, he has been so consistent for long enough that he may still be the top second basemen for 2020. Bobby Sylvester - FantasyPros | Blackmon had a rough spot in the season but still finished with 30+ homers, 110+ runs and a batting average north of .310. He is getting older and only stole 2 bags compared to the 43 fantasy owners got in 2015, but this still a great bat in the late third round. Bobby Sylvester - FantasyPros | |
| There is a TON of upside potential for Altuve as much as 15 picks higher than where I am ranking him, but as I do my rankings I keep seeing players I would rather have and more and more doubts that Altuve will get back to stealing 20+ bases. Without those steals, the plus BA isn't enough to make me bite over the alternatives. Chris Mitchell - FantasyData | Perennially underrated, but his ADP makes sense due to his complete drop in SBs. Only stole 2 bags in 2019 after stealing double digits every year prior. This means you have to buy Blackmon with no help at SBs, which has never been the case. Also may take a hit in runs if Arenado does get traded. Michael Petropoulos - BRoto Fantasy | |
| Scary drop in SBs and SB success rate. Average dropped under .300 for the first time since 2013. Exit Velocity and Hard hit % were below average so a significant drop in HRs can be assumed. Avoiding at ADP. Michael Petropoulos - BRoto Fantasy | ||
