To think I've been calling Trout the American Acuna this whole time...

Nick at third I like it
Acuna can obviously play third

Play him as a shallow LF that covers 3B as well. Use Kemp as a DH.
It bears repeating because it remains true:
In a sample of 125+ PAs at each level this year, Acuna has significantly improved every single one of these numbers after each promotion:
BA
OBP
SLG
wOBA
wRC+
BB%
K%
ISO (not a significant jump from A+ to AA)
2B/PA
HR/PA
And his BABIP has come down after each promotion. So he is genuinely improving his production at every level. He is 19. That is ridiculous.

I think Acuna is a stud... but would like to see a substantial improvement to the walk rate before giving him the call. He's killing everything now, so pitchers should be pitching around him a bit more... I'd like to see if he shows a willingness to show more patience
(i'll bet this post makes people mad)

I think he's ready in terms of performance, I just want to gain the extra year. So if the FO uses his BB rate as a reason to keep him down, awesome.

Fine by me.

We both know our FO isn't smart enough to do that
Sure, they don't know what service time means...

Actually, I think he did but it was merely a cup before coming up for good.

1. If they do, they don't care about it... making them pretty ****ing stupid
2. Doubt they look at BB rate because it's not on the scoreboard
They obviously know what it is. They obviously value other things sometimes more than service time. You disagree with them, and I do, too, but pretending they are just stupid and don't get it is...well...stupid.
