My goodness, Acuna. Dude is unreal.

[Deester11]

Acuña has shown the Braves he's ready. Good and bad to that due to service time. To bad he'd be one of the best players on the mlb team as a rookie right now.

[UNCBlue012]

Where exactly would Acuna play in the lineup? He's a great contact guy who can hit for power, but he's no cleanup hitter. Maybe a two-hole hitter?

Absolutely in the 2 hole.

Stanton and Trout hit 2nd.

[GovClintonTyree]

Just the one hit for Acuña. Not a multihit game.

I'm starting to doubt that he truly loves baseball.

He'll be replacing Markakis rather than Kemp though.
