Acuna can only get 1 hit per game? Probably drops him out of the Top 20...replaced by AJax in the Top 20!!!

Nice. I'm digging Ajax and Fried staying hot. Clouse as well

Looks like Touki got rocked!

Acuna is Acuna

Since this is Jackson's first season showing the talent that got him drafted is it unrealistic to expect some improvement in the bat going forward to where it does play up to a corner?

Feels like he's had a big step forward and there may be more there.

Doesn't seem particularly likely catcher is his spot.

Dude was thought of highly enough to be a Top 25 guy back in 2015. That type of talent is always worth keeping an eye on. He very well could be one of those .800 OPS guys without a position defensively.

Why the Braves thought they were so smart they could move him back to catcher and everything would be OK is another question.

Probably old scouting reports. Braves have ever been willing to sacrifice defense at the position.

He's really crushing in the AZFL anyway.
