    If Riley is a legit 850ish OPS hitter, feels like it completely changes the dynamic of this offense. Assuming Ozuna is even just what he's been historically (and certainly not last year - but also not what he's been this year), that gives us 6 legit impact bats (position independent), including catcher. Then you add Dansby who at the very least is a good hitting shortstop and all of a sudden this feels like a legit 7 deep line-up and prey for center field...

    Acuna is essentially hitting homers, drawing a few walks and getting out a ton. He’ll be fine but it’ll be nice to see him stabilize.

    If that was Acuña, he would still be on the ground rolling like he was trying to put out a fire.

    Well, looks like Chipper's faith in Riley was well founded.
