Acuna and its not close. Well Soto is a semi-close second lol. Tatis is far from them based on advanced stats that I've seen. Overall, they are all great players.

Acuna > Soto > Tatis

That's a good point. Wasn't Robles hyped up like crazy coming into 2018? I could have sworn that he was the "It" guy ahead of Soto if my memory serves. That's definitely flipped since then. What's Robles problem? Playing through injuries? Just overrated to start with? I don't remember anything significant pertaining to him in any of the games I saw with the Nats..

I think Robles was supposed to be Soto's sidekick, but he needs to get his sh!t together. Albies definitely has him beat by a mile!

Soto will never put up a 40/40 season, but then again, Acuna hasn't done that either. Funny how so much of Acuna's hype comes from something he failed to actually do.

Soto is a story. Exciting! He's got elite command of the strike zone, and he'll let you know it. The Soto shuffle gets people talking. It's proof positive that Soto doesn't lack for swagger.

Soto came up huge in huge moments in the playoffs. He sent Milwaukee home with a huge hit, and kept the hits rolling from there.

Who can change the momentum of a World Series game with one swing on one pitch thrown in the game? Not Acuna. Again, he needs to get to a World Series first. Meanwhile, Soto has already done this:



Soto wins. Mic drop.

Very compelling argument here

So far for 2020 he batted .138 with -0-HR 14KO in 29 at bats.
Such superior results against mostly pitchers trying to get into the big league.

Even Chris Davis made him look bad.

He was merely lulling the league into a false sense of security; waiting for the moment to strike. Plus everyone knows that there only so many HR's in any given bat. Why waste them in ST? He's frugal. Another plus.

Yep, you remember that correctly. Soto was thought to be a year or two away from the bigs in going into 2018. Robles was the big name prospect, ahead of Soto in the pecking order. Soto was called up in the summer of '18 instead of Robles only because Robles was hurt at the time. Robles' speed and defense has been there, but he needs to get dialed in better at the plate. He's still a productive player, but not a star.

Meanwhile, I think Albies is a legit star in his own right. As a Brewers fan, I see him as the Paul Molitor to Acuna's Robin Yount.

Soto > Tatis > Acuna

Ronnie getting left behind

With Tatis' injury history, Soto is a no brainer

Someone else mentioned Bellinger...Bellinger looks so lost out there.

I don't see how you don't take the dude that led his team to the WS and has the best bat and plate discipline. At present, Soto is like a surgical scalpel vs tatis/acuna being a jack hammer.
