    I agree. I'll rephrase: I think he starts in right for Atlanta next year.

    Agreed. I don't think there is any doubt on this now. Have to figure out a way to buy out 2-3 years of free agency though.

    Acuna is 3-3.

    This is getting absurd. If he keeps playing this way or even holding his own at AAA, he will be ranked #1 on a lot of outlets this offseason, if not all of them.

    I don't understand how he isn't the top prospect in baseball.

    Well, there are people who think he is.

    People need to quit treating Fangraphs and MLBPipeline as gospel.

    I suspect fangraphs will have him there.

    Ronald Acuña infield single. Beat out the 3B throw.

    4-4 tonight. 2 singles, double, HR.

    He's now hitting .480 in his last 6 games.

    Ronald grounded out here in the 8th. Likely done at 4-5.

    He is hitting .318 with 4 HR as a 19-year-old in AAA. 76 PA. 18.4% K%, and the K% has stabilized.

    What a player.

    Apparently Ronald beat out the throw and should have been 5-5.

    It's adorable you are trying so hard to use scouting terms and stats though.

    You are the sole reason I don't post on this board as often as I did in the past and as much as I would like to.

    Don't let him chase you away Blue. The rest of us want to hear your thoughts.

    Oh, yeah. I'm more or less gone. I love the Braves and have since I was six years old. But when a computer programmer in Reno, NV with emotional problems decides that he needs to fix his life on my favorite Braves board, there's really not much to do but go find something else to do.

    I just hope it's helping him out, but I'm not holding my breath. He's not going to be happy. Right, Nick? Feel any better since you started this campaign?

    Yeah, but it's not worth it, Free. Best you can do is put him on ignore. Then he shows up in quoted posts. It's like Trump. It's not getting any better, just have to find other productive things to do with your time.

    Back to acuna... I hope boras stays away from him

    I think next yr neck starts in rf. When there are 169 games left acuna comes up and neck is the vet on the bench ph and backing up lf and rf. We can afford that bc acuna will b at the minimum.

    Maybe they move Adams in offseason and move kemp to 1b to get acuna up

    The Abuser isn't really catchy in English.
