Jose Altuve is on pace for one of the best seasons from a second baseman in the past 50 years.

He is on pace for a .357 average, 27 home runs, 49 doubles, 43 steals, 123 runs and about 9.0 WAR at this point.

Only four second baseman have posted more WAR since the divisional era began in 1969 -- Joe Morgan (1975, 1976), Craig Biggio and Chase Utley.
