FACTS/FLUKES: Altuve, Salazar, McCann, Hutchison, Ackley

Is Altuve elite? ... Just in case it hasn't sunk in yet—Jose Altuve (2B, HOU) posted the most production of any fantasy player in 2014. He did it by leading MLB in hits and swiping 56 bags in a $40+ season that nobody saw coming. However, with limited power and without another .290+ BA in his career, how confident can we be in Altuve's ability to put up similar numbers?
