Ronald Acuna Has Big Day, But Braves Should Stay Cautious
7 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna went 2-for-3 and stole a base on Thursday. So far, he's hitting .313. The 20-year-old may make the team think hard about bringing him with them when the regular season starts, but there's always the risk that rushing him too fast may put him in a hole much like the one that shortstop Dansby Swanson is still trying to climb out of. People like sportswriter Jeff Schultz of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution are urging a more thoughtful approach. Both the Braves and fantasy owners alike would likely benefit more from him growing into becoming the best player that he can be instead of trying to live up to any hype.
