    Ronald at age 19 in AAA is hitting .341 with a .408 OBP. 11.2% BB% and a 19.3% K%. 98 PA now. As the sample size grows, so do the stats. Haha.

    The kid is simply incredible.

    He could be the talk of baseball next year.

    It's a shame he will start his age 26 season and prime with the Yankees

    Ronald at age 19 in AAA: 22 games, 98 PA, 4 HR, 2 SB, .341 AVG, .403 BABIP, 11.2% BB%, 19.4% K%, .247 ISO, .423 OBP, .588 SLG, 1.011 OPS, .443 wOBA, 182 wRC+.


    These aren't Mike Trout numbers. These are getting close to Barry Bonds in early-2000s 12-13 WAR San Francisco numbers.

    If Acuna has a great rookie year next year maybe we should trade him for a Kings ransom this time instead of getting another Francoeur/Heywood situation.

    Yeah let's just keep up with a perpetual rebuild. Let's not give our guys who could be absolute superstar franchise players a chance

    This is more ban-worthy than thewupk's comment.

    The Venezuelan Trout gets to face Lucas Giolito tonight, another highly-regarded prospect.

    Charlotte has the best ballpark backdrop in baseball. So awesome.

    I hope Ronald hits a ball so hard off Giolito that it lands off the top of the Duke Energy Center.

    Grounded out in 1st AB against Giolito. Walked after an 8-pitch AB the next time up.

    Love the spike in walks. Showing that he is going to make the pitchers throw strikes.

    I don’t know what the speed grades are for Ronald Acuna but he just went from 1st to 3rd pretty easily on a bad pickoff throw

    No way. Scouts aren't wrong and players don't change.
