Love Acuna and think he has superstar potential but the hype train for him might be spinning a bit out of control.

Another comp: Eric Davis.
Eric Davis at age 19 in low-A: .322 AVG, 11 HR, 10 2B, 4 3B, 40 SB, .467 OBP, and a .561 SLG in 247 PA.
Ronald Acuņa at age 19 in A+/AA/AA: .305 AVG, 15 HR, 21 2B, 6 3B, 35 SB, .360 OBP, and a .504 SLG in 435 PA.
Eric Davis was amazing in the bigs but was beset by injuries. A true five-tool talent.
Folks are confusing best hitter with best player.
An argument could be made that a healthy Harper will be a better hitter than Trout.
However, Trout does every other baseball related activity so much better than Harper...it isn't even close when proclaiming which is the best overall player.

Ventura's Stolen Bases
Ronald Acuņa stats for the series with Lehigh Valley: .352 AVG (6-17), 1 HR, 1 SB, 17.6% K%.
Looking forward to Syracuse tonight.
Ronald 1-1 with a single tonight in Syracuse.
Where were Andruw Jones numbers at that age?
