Should the Braves swap Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II in the lineup?

Does it Matter?

There is no definitive answer to this question.

In years past, it would be an easy no. The lead-off job was Ronald’s job and there was no taking it from him, mainly because of his incredible production there.

While he is not doing a bad job by any means in the lead-off spot, many can wonder if you can get more out of Ronald in a different part of the lineup and more out of the lead-off spot if someone like Michael Harris II is there instead.

With less than a month until the start of the playoffs and the remaining regular season becoming more and more important for the Braves with the Mets just a few games ahead in the division race, it will be interesting to see what kind of roster changes or positional/lineup changes are made leading up to October and whether this will be one of them.
