WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 21 (UPI) — Jose Altuve’s unmistakable 5-foot-6 frame was an MLB fixture behind second base for over the last decade, but the Houston Astros icon is embracing a move to the outfield in the latest chapter of his book on leadership. Outside of the positional move, he’s a rare static superstar, willing to stay with his initial team instead of chasing checks to play elsewhere. His teammates laud his rare loyalty, while also inscribing mental notes about his preparation, and they regularly request advice from the weathered infielder. Advertisement
