All Star Break

Jason Kipnis and Jose Altuve have really made a name for themselves in the first half.  Many of aren't surprised by Kipnis but Altuve, on the Astros, is really proving to be a top notch 2B in fantasy.  Daniel Murphy would be even higher on this list if he figured out how to hit the long ball.  he does have 3 HRs but 2 of them came in one game.  Of these 10 guys I want to say that Aaron Hill will be the one not on this list come September.  Just can't see him keeping the average anywhere near .300.
