    Ozzie Albies thread

    Acuna gets alot of the hype and rightfully so, kid is insane.

    But Albies is gonna be a special player, deserves his own thread as well.

    Not a great pitch but not bad, definitely not something you'd expect an Albies to be able to hit out.

    Only thing is how does he manage launch mode vs being able to just swing for hits.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Albies is probably my favorite current Atlanta Brave, close second is Inciarte as I love a great defensive CFer. Not as much as I loved watching Simmons at short here but still do. Acuna will be a favorite of mine as soon as he's here. But that isn't to say he isn't already my favorite among minor league position players, as he is.

    It’s becoming a super fun team to watch. If the young pitching would come out blazing could be really fun.

    Yes, Soroka is my favorite among our pitching prospects.

    That's not a pitch I'd expect any hitter to hit out of the park. Low and outside is a tough pitch to hit, much less pull out.

    Some sentiment the Braves might like Dozier for third, but I question that a bit.
