steveno89 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Nov 7, 2017 -> 09:42 AM) Thats why you can't evaluate only based on box scores. No doubt that Eloy has better tools as a hitter than Ocuna. Tough call at this point on whether a team would rather have Acuna or Jimenez. Acuna has the better all around tools with speed and fielding, and could be a potential 30-30 guy in center field. Jimenez currently has the better hit tool and projects to have better power. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/260529020/pi...z-ronald-acuna/ Callis said it's very close, but he would lean Acuna due to the better speed and glove. Jimenez could very well be a player that absolutely tears the cover off the ball in 2018 as he starts to hone his power potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Right on cue in Longenhagen's chat today. Devon 12:31 Eric, who do you prefer offensively: Acuna or Eloy? Eric A Longenhagen 12:32 I guess Eloy. Acuna is still so young that he gets his lunch money taken by guys who can sequence well (go watch what Stinnett did to him in the Fall Stars game) where as Eloy's approach is more MLB-ready.
