    Acuna's defense is really no surprise. I'm telling you he was bad at Mississippi in cf.

    It's ridiculous that they're still playing baseball in this meat locker

    He certainly doesn't look good right now

    If he was managing in 95? Yes. 2005? Probably not.

    Teheran's velocity is down again this start. Not as bad as in New York, but sitting 87 - 88 for the most part.

    Not in this park. Outfielders get a lot of slack with this roof.

    You guys are criticizing a 20 year old kid for not being able to flag down a fly ball in Tropicana field? Rough crowd.

    He has not been good in the field. He will smash the ball with his bat, but he isn't winning games with his glove

    Not saying he will but he made every play he was supposed to and some he shouldn't have so far.

    It's easy to see he takes bad routes to balls right now. His speed will make up for a lot of that currently.

    Surprisingly, he is 0.2 def value on fangraphs. I probably am being too critical, but I suppose I got this way bc he started in cf the first time I saw him... you gotta be good there, and he was pretty shaky
