It would be a very good trade and is exactly the type of trade that the farm system should be leveraged to enable.
Altuve is tiny and limited somewhat by that, but he's also a proven MLB player with decent OBP skills, a good glove, and - most important - 4 years of control after this one.
Exactly the type of deal you'd be willing to move a guy like Ventura for.
How good would .290/.350/.400 look out of 2B/the leadoff spot for the next 4.5 years? It also would allow them to leave Alex Gordon in the 3 spot long-term.
