Lol...how much longer can you keep Acuna in the minors?
3-4 for Acuna. I seriously have doubted moving him so fast, but the dude just doesn't really slump.
Acuna ejected after a groundout lol. Any idea what happened?
I think it is safe to say Acuna is probably going to be a 20/20 guy at the big league level. But with Suntrust being a hitters park I wonder if he will develop into a 30/30 guy

Yesterday I added Albies to my fantasy team and then he gets promoted less than 24 hours later. I'm afraid to add Acuna to my team now. I don't want him called up tomorrow.
I wouldn't say he's one of our top prospects. But he has an FIP slightly above 4 with a GB% over 50 from the left side. Plenty of time and chance for him to return to his form. And if he does he's up there.
Blisters? I seriously doubt there are legs to that story. If there are, then it is complete a botch job by the management to allow him to continue to pitch. I think he had a bad first half. They are now taking him and Anderson slow to get them right. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Allard going 3 -4 innings his next few/several starts. I will never accept that Fried sucked because of blisters. I think Fried sucked because he was off mechanically.
Coppy
I agree that you gotta be able to say a guy had a bad year and that Fried has had one. Could have been at least somewhat blister related. Rich Hill has exactly one way to get guys out- with a curveball that moves 20 inches that he torques the **** out of. That also causes him to miss because that kind of torque creates blisters.
However, it also helped him sign a three year, $36m contract in his mid-to-late 30s. So he keeps doing it. Fried might need to make adjustments. Or might not yet have figured it out.
