GDT: Mets @ Braves 03/23: Return of the Venezuelan Trout

[bravesfanforlife88]

Acuna RF
Olson 1B
Riley 3B
Ozuna DH
Harris CF
Albies 2B
d'Arnaud C
Rosario LF
Arcia SS

I believe Schuster is starting.

This will almost certainly be opening day line up ONE WEEK AWAY

[Hudson2]

This lineup will win a lot of games. Murphy can be swapped with TDA but that’s about it.

not sure TDA gets the nod over Murphy.

Should be pretty close. The further along we get, the likelier we don't carry a 3rd catcher. With Ozuna having a decent spring, they are really giving him an opportunity to win the DH role full time.

Side note, in that Braves show they released the other day, Harris was talking with EY about goals for the season. Harris told EY his goal was a 30/30 season. EY said that's too easy for him, he should aim higher.

If he put up a 30/30 season, I think all of us would be stoked.

Trying to temper expectations a bit for post Rookie year, but its honestly hard to not see the kids super talented in a lot of facets.

[bravesfanMatt]

The Braves have shown all spring they are going to be running... like most teams. So Harris getting 30 steals shouldn't be a problem. 30 homers.. I can see.. and yes would be very happy with that.

[CJ9]

...can we talk about why Ozuna is hitting fourth?!

Agreed. but in once he came up last season, he put up 19 home runs and 20 stolen bases. You have to imagine his stolen bases will go up this year. If he adds just a little more power, he can get there.

Imagine having Acuna and Harris put up 30/30 season. 35-40 home runs from Olson, 30-35 home runs from Riley, 20-25 home runs from Ozuna, 15-20 home runs and 20-25 stolen bases for Albies....

That is a scary looking offense no matter how you slice it. Then if you get a little production out of Arcia/Rosario.....

That is why I would like the best glove at SS regardless of the bat. You didn't even list Murphy/TDA 25+ homers 25+ doubles.

My mistake, you are correct. And the added defense Murph provides will help.

Just a guess, but I'm thinking he's a placeholder in the lineup for Murphy.

Swap Murphy for Ozuna in the lineup, and switch Murphy and Td'A defensively, and I think you have the opening day lineup.

I think he could balance the R/L a bit better with moving Harris and Rasorryio up a bit. Possibly Ozzie hitting 9th to start the season as well.

I think he will. I think Murphy will catch more this season though

I don't want to live in a world where Rosario and Arcia get more plate appearances than Ozzie.

Iglesias to start on the IL with shoulder inflammation… uggg

[thethe]

Still doing this whole Acuna leadoff thing is insane now that Harris has ascended.

Harris is a threat to score from first on light doubles.

yeah - not good.....
