Acuna is just that rare prospect that could handle every level thrown at him, it would be super rare to have 2 guys do that ever let alone with in a year of each other. If Pache is up there with Robles then we will be in excellent shape moving forward.
It is. How crazy would it be that Pache would make it 3 guys for the Braves
I know Inciarte or Pache aren’t your prototypical corner outfielders but the defense in our outfield would be elite. Then you could spend the money to get Machado and make a trade for either Fulmer or Archer and be set to be a serious contender.
It would definitely speed this timeline of being a WS contender up.
The SP is gonna determine whether the Braves are a WS contender in the coming years or not.
Pitching wins in October.
Cutch has been a solidly negative defender in CF his entire career. Pache is supposedly the best defensive player in the minors at any position.

I don't recall any position players recording any wins or saves in the playoffs.

To an extent yes, but hard to win without good starting pitching unless you have an elite, deep bullpen which a lot of teams have these days it seems.
There are many ways to win. Playing good at the right time is the key component.
Baserunning and First Base defense is obviously the most important thing in the playoffs. Can you imagine a playoff run where you first baseman couldn't catch at all? It would be a disaster.
Pache just hit his first ever professional HR.
I hear he's better than Acuna
