Acuna could end up being a 7+ WAR player. He is that special. With him/freeman/albies in place you don't need a lot more on offense. Next year might be the most fun we've had as brave fans since heywards rookie season.

Read thethe's comment, and almost predicted the response word for the word haha. Not even 7 WAR, 7+ WAR... So basically he could play for 8 years and have accumulated enough WAR for Hall of Fame consideration. We are setting ourselves up for so much disappointment with this kid. And I'm saying that as a guy who thinks Acuna will be great

I guess that depends on what you mean by larger than normal. If the odds of a typical prospect becoming a 7 win player are "extremely remote" and Acuna's is just "remote", then yeah I guess that is true. Obviously Acuna has a better chance of being a 7 win player than someone like Alex Jackson. But that doesn't mean any reasonable projection should have Acuna pegged as a 7 win player.
God forbid the guy has an 0-fer next season.
