At some point this FO is going to get some pressure to show some results from the rebuild. If the young pitching doesn't start to produce at the MLB level at the end of this year, I could definitely see Acuna being rushed in an effort to "prove" the rebuild is working.
I hope it doesn't shake out that way and Acuna doesn't make his debut until opening day of 2019, but it's starting to become apparent The Genius doesn't know how to build an MLB winner, and hopefully he doesn't get desperate to save his job.
