    Acuna is just that rare prospect that could handle every level thrown at him, it would be super rare to have 2 guys do that ever let alone with in a year of each other. If Pache is up there with Robles then we will be in excellent shape moving forward.

    It is. How crazy would it be that Pache would make it 3 guys for the Braves

    It would definitely speed this timeline of being a WS contender up.

    I know Inciarte or Pache aren’t your prototypical corner outfielders but the defense in our outfield would be elite. Then you could spend the money to get Machado and make a trade for either Fulmer or Archer and be set to be a serious contender.

    Good players are good players. To me it makes no difference if Ender, for example, played center, right, or left. If he's a 3 WAR player then he's a 3 WAR player. I want good players on the team.

    The SP is gonna determine whether the Braves are a WS contender in the coming years or not.

    Pitching wins in October.

    To an extent yes, but hard to win without good starting pitching unless you have an elite, deep bullpen which a lot of teams have these days it seems.

    There are many ways to win. Playing good at the right time is the key component.

    How can any Braves fan say pitching wins in the playoffs. We would have 6 World Series if that were the case. It takes managing. Pitching hitting. Relievers. Defense.

    Baserunning and First Base defense is obviously the most important thing in the playoffs. Can you imagine a playoff run where you first baseman couldn't catch at all? It would be a disaster.

    I think tackling players on 1st is also a requirement for 1B in the WS
