He could be a 2018 starter if he keeps this pace...

In unusual news, Acuña makes an out. Currently 3-4 w/ 3 HR on the day plus a sliding catch in CF. Braves up 5-1 on Phillies B8 in AA game.

Likely our top prospect going into next year.

I'm thinking fried or Allard will be in the mix as well.

Mmm, maybe. Could be Maitan.

 

[50PoundHead]

I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starting RF on opening day in 2019.

I like Fried as well. I also think Newk will have a big year.. only problem is if he has the year I think he will, he might loose prospect status by this time next year.

Has to be likely timeline - staggers clocks perfectly with Swanson this year and Albies in 2018.

Agreed, hopefully Newcomb can tighten it up.

Do not be surprised if Acuna is in RF opening day of 2018. If the new stadium development goes as planned I think payroll goes into the 150 range. Early extensions will be given put to all core players.

 

[Tapate50]

Matata?

 

[Braves1976]

I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starting RF on opening day in 2019.

If not traded, I'd predict that is quite likely given his talent.

They will both take leaps imo. But a plus hitting plus fielding CF will get top marks.

I think Acuna is our top prospect coming into the next season, honestly. I see evaluators slobbering all over the dude.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Can anyone name a league or level Acuna failed to hit at? I think I said a few weeks ago I wouldn't be surprised if he started at AA. We might see him in August.
