FACTS/FLUKES: Altuve, Pujols, Pineda, E. Santana, Leon

Altuve short in stature, but not short on power...The diminutive Jose Altuve (2B, HOU) has gone from prospect afterthought to the most productive fantasy player in the game. On the verge of his second $50+ season and third consecutive $40+ season, is Altuve really in the same class as Mike Trout, Manny Machado, Paul Goldschmit, etc.?
