    Soto more impressive than acuna this season...

    Soto (65 PA) .339/.431/.571 13.8 bb, 15.4 k

    Acuna (first 67 PA) .274/.328/.500 6.0 bb, 23.9 k

    Obviously SSS, but kind of sobering thinking we had the greatest, latest, youngest superstar. Soto is 19

    Soto is a star, but c'mon this is an extremely small sample size to compare

    Maybe too early to say either Soto or Acuña are/aren’t “stars”.

    Yeah but if you take a look historically of players who've had this much success at this age, I'd bet the majority have turned out to be at least above average regulars.

    It’s early as hell, man. I take Acuna over Soto every single time.

    The Braves will add Acuna and Soroka soon.
    Except they have been bad for weeks. The offense is sputtering, there are only two reliable starters, the bullpen is awful and Snitker just isn't any good.

    Acuna will be great. My expectations just aren't fair right now. I'm the problem, not Acuna

    Could be worse... could have been Livan Soto... I wouldn't worry, we do still have the greatest superstar of the two

    Same here. I was getting frustrated with Acuna for not producing like expected before his injury, which is absolutely insane. He will be great.
