Doubtful he means much to the ML squad, but I'm fine with giving him a minor league deal.
If we actually need him up here it will mean we've got a couple of guys hurt.

With today's doubleheader sweep at Detroit, the #Braves have won 9 of their past 11 games, moved to a league-best 42-26, and opened a 5-game NL East lead, the largest division lead in the majors.

Acuña's power is amazing. I mean, he's what 6 feet, 200 pounds? He hits homers consistently farther than anybody in baseball. Incredible

Acuña's power is amazing. I mean, he's what 6 feet, 200 pounds? He hits homers consistently farther than anybody in baseball. Incredible There are three main components... Decision making Bat to ball ability (square contact) Bat speed I'm not sure he's the best at decision making The bat to ball ability is definitely there... but for me.. It's that bat speed that makes the difference. There are guys with more HR's, but he's at the top of the exit velo stat. Almost everything he hits gets hit hard. |

Yeah, the talent covers some of the decision making. I'd rather he didn't swing at the first pitch so much, but who am I to criticize? The kid is special, and what makes me giddy is that he appears to have finally grown up. |
