The Atlanta Braves

That was a fun year. His next year was just about as good. Then he just lost his swing, and never really recovered. If he could’ve laid of the outside breaking balls he possibly could’ve been enshrined.

Should be anyway iyam.

I really think he had as much natural talent as Griffey or ARod. He just never had the discipline.

Those last 2 years in NY were yuck

You mean his 126 OPS+ in 2011 wasn’t good?

Imagine being a 60+ win player and being considered disappointing. That’s kinda harsh lol

Andruw also maybe probably wasn’t 19 when he debuted.

Yea he was really killing it with a .6 WAR and then a -.2 in 2012

I dunno. He was 35 when he was done. So it seems to make sense for a 17 year career

Didn’t know you acquired a “34” year old oft injured slugger for his defense and baserunning. My apologies for your expectations.

I don't know why they decided to acquire him. Although of his 93 hits, 27 of them were HRs

I know. It sounds ridiculous, but it always felt like he could've been an even better hitter. Just never could stop chasing.

He played his first year of pro ball here in town when he was 18 and I probably saw him 20 times. He put up 25 HRs, 100 RBI and 50 steals In low A.

Thoughts on 111 career OPS+

They're famous for limiting the coverage.

It hasn't been all that long since all you ever saw was the back 9 for 2-3 hrs on Saturday and Sunday.

 

[GAVol]

This is a pretty sobering perspective.

This is a pretty sobering perspective.

Acuna is from Venezuela, a country where large percentages of people are eating from dumpsters. He has to think we are insane for thinking he got a bad deal.

Kimbrel still wants $100M

He’s for sure out until the draft and may have to retire with those demands
