Bold Prediction Has Astros Superstar Becoming Franchise’s Best Player Ever

One of the key players for the Houston Astros has the potential to become the greatest player in team history with yet another outstanding season.There are two names that immediately spring to mind when discussing the Houston Astros.

Almost every offensive record in the team’s history is held by two of the greatest players of all time, Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. Both players were inducted into the Hall of Fame, with Bagwell being the first Astro to win an MVP award.

One thing, nevertheless, that neither of them succeeded in achieving was the World Series title.The year 2017 saw Houston receive its first one after a protracted wait.

Jose Altuve has emerged as one of the greatest Astros players ever, and the team has already won two World Series. The common denominator among the team’s greatest players during this “Golden Era” has been a few guys.

After the 2017 season, he became the second player in Houston to earn an MVP award, and he went on to become one of the best playoff players ever.MLB.com’s Brian McTaggert has a daring forecast for the superstar in the upcoming season.

“Altuve cements himself as the greatest Astros player in history by earning his second MVP award and winning the city’s mayoral race in a landslide special election,” the author says.

The political aspect is a funny afternote, although if a second MVP did come for.But, this is an interesting scenario to consider if he would actually be thought of as the franchise’s best player.

Depending on whether offensive metric is included, Altuve is essentially third after Bagwell and Biggio, but he still has some time remaining in his career, and owner Jim Crane has expressed his desire for him to retire with the Houston Astros when that time comes.

It would be difficult to argue against Altuve being the greatest player in Astros history with his two MVP awards, two World Series championships, all-time playoff stats, and ability to break club records.
