[KOdawg1]

It's go time.

Left handed Ronald Acuña is here

The American Venezuelan Trout

I hope this means putting Duvall on the bench but you never know with Snit.

Putting the cart before the horse a little - got to get Acuna on the field first.

 

[SJ24]

LET'S GO

My guess is that AA tried to make a move to bring in another outfielder, couldn't get one so the next best option was to bring up Harris.

Cannot fun with the OF as we have been

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Is he playing 1st base?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Wow

 

[msstate7]

Wow. I'd have rathered they waited till tomorrow... ancantara is sick

 

[Hudson2]

Man this is exciting!

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

 

[Tapate50]

Just wow. Let’s roll

 

[Hudson2]

This probably deserves its own thread

 

[Tapate50]

Glad to read we are keeping expectations in check

We're definitely underselling him. I expect him to win MVP for both leagues.

There will be an award named after him.

 

[Slippyjms]

I hope Tromp comes up too. DFA Heredia. Let Contreras play everyday without worrying about not having a backup C

Acuña RF/DH
Swanson SS
Ozuna LF/DH
Riley 3B
Olson 1B
Albies 2B
Contreras DH/C
d’Arnaud C
Harris CF

Duvall OF
Tromp C
Arcia IF

Out of curiosity, does Duvall have any more minor league options? Sending him back to AAA like we did the other year wouldn't be a bad play. Last time he went down there, remembered how to hit, came back and raked

Expectations ? Around here? Nah…..

Yeah his ground ball rate a bit high but given his speed he can turn some of those into hits. As a small sample reference this year:

Harris. GB% 45% - LD 17%. YTD

A. Riley GB% 38% - LD 25% YTD

Acuna. GB% 31%- LD 23% 2021

45% GB rate puts him about where Markakis was but nowhere as bad as Hosmer. Harris perhaps can get better with this in time.

Everything about Harris screams Adam Eaton to me. I’m excited to see some real data on him.
