    Hah! I called that Albies HR on reddit yesterday.
    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.

    It is absolutely imperative the Braves give up a few weeks/months of .750 OPS Acuna in 2018 for a full year of .900 OPS Acuna in 2024.

    The complaints are probably coming soon.

    The overanalysis has been here from the start on him. I suspect he'll be good but unless he absolutely blows up people are going to complain just like seemingly half the fanbase did with Heyward.

    Including brains, there are really 6 tools, which looks like could be a chink in Acuna's armor. I still don't understand what he was doing on that play at home. He never looked at Washington and he wasn't running that hard. Maybe he though the grounder got through.

    Phillies apparently haven’t heard of the informal replay rule. We’re lucky they didn’t challenge the play at first
