The Acuna Accension

Ronald Acuna will exhaust his Rookie limits in 2018, at least, he should. I have no doubt Acuna will have an inspiring and very promising 2018 spring training. He will, though, begin the year in Gwinnett.

His call up will follow the likes of what the Cubs did with Kris Bryant. In order to ensure a seventh year of control, the Braves will keep Acuna in AAA for 2-4 weeks. He should be with Atlanta by May.

Unfortunately, when that happens, someone will have to be removed, unless, of course, someone goes on the DL. If no one is placed on the DL, look for one of Lane Adams, Preston Tucker, Rio Ruiz, or Danny Santana to find their way to Gwinnett.
