I said recently I thought Altuve needed another season or two to lock up the Hall of Fame. Looking back at his statistics I don't think so. Nine-time All Star, three-time batting champion, currently hitting .305 for his career. He'll finish the season with 250 HR at his size, and 2,500 hits. - ThreadSky

he's clearly the greatest Astro with all due respect to the B's and Ryan

ryan was a great california angel (and joe morgan was a great Red)

A good, sometimes great second baseman, and absolutely the leader who's driven them this far.

He’s in, no question.

But the trash can, sir.

You don't have his career and need help.

This is (part of) the Bonds argument, too. Do you believe Bonds belongs in the HoF, or does the specific conduct make it different, in your opinion? (I want Bonds in the HoF, but it's not a hill I'd die on.)

He was among the few Astros who didn’t cheat, I’ve always heard, but being the team player he is, never talked about it.

The same reason Shoeless Joe was permanently suspended. If Manfred weren’t commissioner, the same probably would’ve happened to Altuve.

Above that, he is one of the best postseason performers in history. The only question now is how much above 75% he goes.

The garbage can is > 90%

Jaffe says he's a little short. I would vote for him in a minute.

Bad dum TISS?

Second base is also very underpopulated as positions go - Whittaker and Grich should be in at a minimum - and I think Utley will get in by the time Altuve is eligible. He's an easy yes.

Sir, what happened to The Braves this year? It’s not good

Those stats are setting him up nicely. Also the narrative that he's basically the same size as my wife while doing it has to help.
