    I’m beginning to think some posters actually (or at least mostly) bought into that facetious sobriquet.

    Don't do that, man. You'll be accused of saying Acuna is as good as Trout. ;)

    Derrrrp!

    His age 20 season was his rookie year.

    Trout was 19. Acuna is 20.

    You still haven’t paid up for our bet. Do we need to set up a payment plan for the $25?

    Go have another beer and make out with your sister.

    Splitting hairs on age... trout was 19 years 11 months when he debuted. Acuna was 20 years 4 months.

    When you pay Ivan (ozuna -0.2 fWAR), I'll pay you

    LOL are you seriously backing out of our bet?

    Mine and Ivan's bet is 2 years in duration. He already paid up for our bet on the Braves 2018 payroll.

    Im not backing out... still lot of season to go. Most likely I will lose and I will pay if that happens. Just saying you aren't quitting on yours. Why should I quit when Camargo was just named starter?

    LOL! You can't be this stupid. I don't have a problem with you going after me. The fact that you pick on a kid and try to actually run him off the board shows what a piece of garbage you really are.

    Don't have a dog in this fight, but I don't think anyone here is a little kid.

    He seems to be in his late teens. He's a kid to me. Trying to take advantage of someone without much experience is pretty pathetic. Just my point of view.

    https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/expec...am=ATL&min=100

    Decided to go ahead and just post the thing for Atlanta. It's really incredible from Acuna, like it or not the stats say he's getting a fair amount of bad luck.

    Also, as I've said elsewhere before, while he's definitely not going to hit 40+ HR, given that Albies is beating expected stats himself and has for 100+ games, you have to start wondering if you can place him in the category of "beats expected stats" as well, like Inciarte (and others for sure).
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    When Nick decides to take a **** on a thread it'd be great if the mods would start a new one or remove the bull**** from the thread so we can go back through the relevant posts without the nonsense.

    I definitely don’t like it: I wish all the team’s players would be and remain lucky.

    I like it when our players get lucky too. And I like understanding what is luck and what is not.

    There was this crazy discussion a while back about Acuna's .400+ BABIP numbers in the minors. Led to some weird expectations.

    Btw going into this season I liked Albies more as a player, both this season and for his career.

    But I'm starting to change my view, luck-inflected outcomes notwithstanding. Acuna looks mighty impressive at the plate to me. A bit disappointing in the field though.

    But no...he isn't the next Trout.
