    What happened to real 5-tool prospects who were elite on defense, on the bases, and swinging the bat? Players like Jason Heywood.

    Haha people are already saying that Acuna is going to be just like Jason Heyward, a bust if he doesn't get sent down to the minors.

    The silly. Because I'd like for Acuna to be a better hitter than him but Heyward is a great outcome, most minor leaguers don't work out.
    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.

    Look at the tweets in this status. I didn't even realize that Joe Simpson is providing...instructions as I don't listen to the broadcast.

    Because he has "hit well off Velasquez".

    This team has embraced analytics but still is "in" on traditional stuff.
