Yeah, I have no idea what I'm talking about with contracts, and I will readily admit that.

I guess he would turn it down because of his high ranking and confidence in himself.

Maybe Swanson was sent down to have a chat with him. I think for a lot of these guys that first contract takes care of their families for multiple generations. They are willing to offer a discount for that kind of security. The second contract is all gravy.
 
Ronald at age 19 in AAA: .288 ISO, .438 wOBA, 178 wRC+. .354 BABIP.

Mike Trout at age 19 in AA: .218 ISO, .421 wOBA, 156 wRC+. .390 BABIP.

I mean . . .
 
If eligible, Ronald would lead the International League in AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS, ISO, wOBA, and wRC+, all while not even being in the top 10 in BABIP. He has 76 PA, so it's not a terribly small sample size.

He is 19.

Amazing.
 
Here's a blurb about Ronald from John Calvagno, who scouts the Sally.

I continue to think my 30-30 prediction is on point.

CF) Ronald Acuna (Braves) missed a lot of time in 2016 due to a thumb injury but I was fortunate to get one look very late in the season. I didn’t get a great read on the CF defense that day but I became an instant believer in that bat. He showed plus bat speed and excellent bat to ball skills. The ball was jumping off of his barrel. I thought he had 290-15-20 HR and 25-30 SB upside. Soon after I saw on Twitter that David Lee had said Acuna had one of the best rounds of BP he had seen all yr. Which gave me an immediate indication that I was probably low on the power. He’s had a meteoric rise up prospect lists in 2017 and is in the discussion for #1 prospect in the game.

Should be promoted above the majors to the super majors. He could play all his games against the gas house gorillas:

Ron Acuna 1B
Ron Acuna 2B
Ron Acuna 3B
Ron Acuna SS
Ron Acuna LF
Ron Acuna CF
Ron Acuna RF
Ron Acuna C
Bugs Bunny P

Mike Trout at 19 in AA:

412 PA
.326 AVG
.390 BABIP
11 HR
37 PA per HR
33 SB
10.9% BB%
18.4% K%
.218 ISO
.414 OBP
.544 SLG
.958 OPS
.421 wOBA
156 wRC+

Ronald Acuna at 19 in AAA:

85 PA
.307 AVG
.352 BABIP
4 HR
21 PA per HR
2 SB
9.4% BB%
20.0% K%
.253 ISO
.381 OBP
.560 SLG
.941 OPS
.413 wOBA
161 wRC+

Mike Trout leads in 10 categories. Ronald leads in 4. However, Trout leads 2 of the categories pretty clearly based on longevity (PA and HR) and another category will be a wash (SB).

Eventually losing the edge in those would make it a 7-7 split.

This assumes Ronald keeps going at this rate and neither regresses nor improves.
