Rookie season is not what matters, it's what they follow it up with. We know with Ronnie he followed it up with injuries and with the Jrod we will see thats what investors are flocking too.

WBC is gonna be big for Acuna. He's gonna star on Columbia. Dominican players will be interesting to watch, they are just so loaded. Someone out of their lineup is going to pop insanely but you just don't know who.

Projected DR Lineup - Marte, Soto, Machado, Guerrero Jr., Devers, J Ram, Jeremy Pena, Gary Sanchez, J Rod.

My safe bet is Machado, his bat is somehow still underrated. If J Rod sticks out, out of that crowd to the moon for him.

2018 - NL ROY
2019 - Great Sophomore Campaign
2020 - ...
2021 - Would've won the NL MVP if he didn't get injured. He was on a tear.
2022 - Down Year coming off of ACL surgery

...the guy is a Top 5 all-MLB talent. If he performs like projected for 2023...people will be selling their grandmothers prescription drugs in order to get more Acuna cards.

Couldn't agree more. Just need him to stay healthy really.

I've followed his entire offseason. He's been locked in, working out, hitting, doing strength & conditioning, etc since the offseason started. He is primed to be fully locked in this season. He just needs to stay on the field.

In 2021, in 82 games before the injury, 297 ABs, 72 runs scored, 24 hrs, 52 RBIs, 17 SBs, 3.6 WAR...on track to better his 2019 numbers.

Not sure if I believe it yet, but…

Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr.will be playing in the 2023 World Baseball Classic with the Venezuelan team after all, according to Bleacher Report and Xamplebrand.

I hope he does. He belongs on the big world stage. He has the talent and the personality for it.

If my aunt had nuts she would be my uncle. Ronnie could've been this or that. Reality is he had potential which is why a bunch of people poured money into him in 2018 and 2019 and since then he has been a let down, which is why his prices are where they are. Now Julio is the next with potential. The question is will he take a path toward MVPs or will he flame out and we will all move onto the next Mike Trout?

Had? So he sucks now. Good to know.

Lebron now has the ultimate scoring record. Cards are down.
Ohtani had a monster year. Cards are down.
Zion was having his best year ever. Cards were down.
Trout had a monster year for the games he played. Cards were down.
Mahomes is in the Super Bowl. Cards are down.
Tom Brady retires. Cards are down.

wait, cards are down?

Fun with templates!

Ah, yes. This must be that famed mythical safe-space where the beisbol border hoppers congregate to break their self-ascribed investerboi commandments while trimming out the backlash. The mental gymnastics is truly impressive.

Kay sera. ♫ Looks like I've unwittingly just secured a new BO timeshare. Roof and siding need some work. But the all-glass panoramic views are nothing short of sensational. Already starting to feel like home.
