Because he's the next hot thing and people are forgetting about Acuna, right? |

Lucky homerun. What's that like his 3rd of the season?
Acuna leading off is his most ideal batting position. He puts so much pressure on the pitcher to begin the game. Teams that score first win ~%70 of the team. Looks to be much more comfortable hitting lead off |

But, Acuna is number one for me in terms of PC. The other guys are secondary. I am just happy that Acuna had a great day today. Go Acuna!

Well, seems like Acuna clearly reads the BO boards and I feel like I should take a little credit for today.

Also hasn’t Trout been batting second the last few years??? I really doubt moving him up one spot in the lineup would produce many more wins. I’d always want guys like Trout batting third or fourth. Last edited by Noles939913; 06-16-2019 at 07:56 PM. |

He's on pace for what...? (My numbers could be slightly off)
.290-.300 average 100 runs 34 HRs 100 RBIs 20 SBs I'm very happy with his play this season. |

1. This is baseball. A sport where you're successful at the plate if you make an out 7 of 10 times. 2. He's 21 years old. He was the fifth youngest player in the league who was on an opening day roster.

I'm not worried at all long term for both Soto and Acuna. They track to be better players, and if already they are .290/.350/.500 hitters, I can't imagine what they will do at their peaks.

He's 21 Years old. Patience will be the key for him until he really figures everything out. I'd imagine if you look at the game logs of other great players you'll see a lot of hot streaks and slumps especially during their early 20's.
That being said, former players (including HOF level players) rave about him all the time. He is one of the most overall impressive 21 year olds probably ever. |

Acuna is an absolute stud, lots of fun to watch/follow, and his cards have more growth potential than anyone in the league besides Trout. Everyone enjoy the ride for the next 15 years!

Question for you connnosieurs. Anyone know what a us250 camo value is off the top? Is the general rule that camo=black pricing more or less the case for Acuna?
