    i mean if only front offices had a crystal ball and could predict when a prospect's value is at its highest.

    I just don’t think AA is that dumb.
    If we know of the potential issues with Anderson, then you can rest assured every other front office in baseball knows about them, too. It's possible AA was shopping Anderson but that his value is lagging behind his prospect ranking because of those things. AA may have decided he couldn't get enough value from Anderson to make it worth it and would rather give him a shot in the majors and see if he can hang.

    Probably a similar reason why we didn't let go of Allard sooner as well. Even while some prospect lists still had him in the top 100, everyone knew his actual value was well below that.
    "Acuna is getting lucky, just like CJ did when he batted .321 and won a batting title. He is unlikely to get lucky at the MLB level over an extended period of time. He will settle in around .300-.320 just like everyone else, and when he does, he won't be within shouting distance of the 1.000 OPS he is posting in AAA...more like low .700s in 2018." -Enscheff 8/25/17

    I don't know, but he's not ready. K rate still too high and riding an insane BABIP.

    IMHO, Both Waters and Pache need to simmer in AAA for the rest of the season. As the Pache train conductor, I have enjoyed him taking a methodical approach.

    We do have a spot on the 40 man open. Not sure what the plan is there, but I assume Lane Adams has the inside track. The severity of Riley's injury and his availability for the remainder of the year could also play a factor.

    Seems like he's been riding it since being drafted, but fair point. I see a guy raking and can't help but think he'd help Atlanta.

    Drew Waters and his .436 BABIP in AA would see a large regression similar to what Acuna's .400 BABIP in AAA saw in the first half of his 2018 MLB season (.249/.304/.438 (.742 OPS) with a .327 BABIP...exactly as expected).

    I realize folks like Smoooot are too stupid to understand, but Acuna's early MLB "struggles" were easily predicted, and Waters is no different in that regard.

    Where Waters and Acuna likely differ is the likelihood Waters doesn't have Acuna's superhuman ability to improve quickly, so his adjustment period may be longer than the ~200 PAs is took Acuna.

    Having said that, Duvall is pretty crappy, and Ender is pretty bad vs LHP, so one of Pache/Waters may prove useful in a part time role. Water appears to have massive platoon splits, and is pretty bad vs LHP, so he isn't exactly the best platoon match once Markakis comes back. Pache seems to have exactly the opposite splits and better peripherals supporting his overall line, so he might make a nice platoon partner with Ender.
