The Carolina on the Southern side
96 k's this year already...finally in double digit homers this season.

A bet you can't find another teenage prospect at the AA level or higher who has a .300+ avg with double digit home runs & double digit stolen bases.

Of course he has 96 k's. He's a 19 year old who has been facing far more advanced & seasoned pitching. If he continues to rake at AAA and gets a September call-up he may just be the #1 prospect next year

Maybe not but he has over a 1K AB's in the lower levels. Time to challenge the kid to see if he can adjust.

Yeah but he just turned 20 so he still has time to learn to adjust before having to prove himself at AA/AAA.

Thoughts on Acuna's bump to Gwinnett? Do the Braves see Andruw 2.0 in him?

I think they're rushing him. He's a hell of a prospect, but I don't get the urgency here, and I'd like to see him struggle at a level and then have to stay there long enough to make adjustments at the plate, since he's not very patient or selective.
