    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.

    7+ WAR?? Completely realistic!! Mark it down!!

    This decade there have been, on average, 4.6 position players per season who reach the 7+ WAR mark.

    But never mind that. Acuna will be one of the Top 4-5 players in the game!! WOWZERZZ!!!

    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

    What's insulting about living fast, dying young, and leaving a beautiful corpse?

    His probability distribution for possible outcomes includes a larger than normal percentage in the 7+ seasons war bucket wouldn't you agree?

    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.

    I want to support you so bad thethe but good God man you are out of control lately with your ludicrous predictions. It's so similar to like I uncontrolled drunk texting although I'm down doubting you're drunk every post.
