Off my chest, I think it is absolutely stupid to try Altuve in the outfield, ESPECIALLY if it is to replace Yordan and keep Yordan at DH.

First of all, Yordan's splits are absolutely insane when he plays LF vs. DH.

.325/.409/.633/1.042 when he plays LF and…

.286/.381/.558/.939 when he is at DH.

That's 39 points better in batting average, 28 points better in on base percentage, 75 points better in slugging, and 103 points better in on-base plus slugging.

And that's not a tiny sample size. It's 834 PA at LF and 1,821 PA at DH. That's over a full season at LF and 2.5 full seasons at DH. When he is DH he is a good player…When he plays LF he is an absolute legend as far as stats are concerned.

Yordan isn't a GREAT outfielder by any stretch of the imagination, he is league average at best, but if his batting splits pan out over the course of a career I'll take 39 points on the BA and 103 points on the OPS all day long over moving Altuve to the outfield. That is absolutely the difference between a HOF career and an all-time legend career. Surely the front office has crunched these numbers and I am not just a crazy ass fan…If not somebody PLEASE point these numbers out to them.

If those number pan out, it's 1 home run per 11.8 At-bats in LF and 1 home run per 15.3 At-bats as DH. Over the course of a 20 year career that's like 200 more home runs at LF. As the numbers show, Yordan is CLEARLY better when he plays defense as opposed to just DH. Altuve in LF would be devastating, especially considering Altuve is STILL an above average 2B. If anything try Cam Smith at 2B and Altuve at DH, with Yordan staying in LF.

Somebody please listen to my ramblings…Yordan is good as a DH but he could be an all-time great in LF. How have the number crunchers not seen this?!?! Over 100 points better OPS while in left. This s**t is sooooo obvious. Maybe I am missing something, but Yordan's numbers are better across the whole ass board when he is playing LF. Surely the people that get paid to notice this have noticed this.
