    Michael Harris is the "left handed Acuna" per Chipper

    Marquis Grissom also pretty much comparing him to Sheffield, Bonds, and Thome.

    Forget Waters for a second. Enscheff is probably right about him.

    An outfield of Acuna-Pache-Harris could be one of the greatest of all-time.

    How about we wait to see if 2/3 of that group can even hit MLB quality pitching before ranking them as a group???
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Chipper isn’t easily impressed. He especially wouldn’t say something like that unless Harris is unreal. Think a second about that comparison. Holy crap.

    If we did hit on another big time player like Harris that would make us super scary. I hope he’s right.

    I don't care about what anyone other than you thinks about him.

    You now athletes better than any other armchair scout on the planet, so if you're sold I'm all set.

    I have not seen him play.

    The hype reminds me of when Fred McGriff and Chipper were raving about Acuna being a future top 5 player.

    I mean, Grissom is talking Bonds and Sheffield.

    Bonds is once every 100 years type of player. Sheffield, there are maybe a handful of guys who were as violently quick with the bat- ever.

    I'm excited to watch him.

    Nonzero chance the Braves could have two top 5 OFs in the corners for the next decade.

    I mean, Chipper blew the Francoeur and Heyward horn too. Let’s not pretend Chipper can’t be a homer like all of us.

    True. I tend to listen when multiple guys are saying it, though.

    You've now got Chipper, Grissom, and Snitker singing Harris' praises. Apparently Markakis was hyping him up to Snitker, too, but I don't have direct quotations handy.

    So, the Braves are going to have Venezuelan Mike Trout, African-American Mike Trout, Roberto Alomar, Troy Glaus, Andruw Jones, Derek Jeter, and Freddie Freeman taking the field simultaneously for the better part of the next decade.

    Anything less than 5 straight World Series is a failure.

    I'm most excited about Harris being African-American, frankly.

    The Braves leaving the city limits and alienating that community is a disgrace.

    Not a single black ball player on the team last year. The only team in the South. The team of Hank Aaron.

    Absolute disgrace.

    Don’t be hasty, I don’t think we have anybody quite that good.

    I agree. Need to see what Juan Pierre is up to to fill the African-American quota.

    That’s more of a baseball problem than a Braves problem.

    He reminds me of a young Hank Aaron.
