    Should the Atlanta Braves be worried about Ronald Acuna Jr?

    He is currently 2 for 17

    Anybody know what the issue is?

    Is he at least making hard contact?

    Some players experiment with new things during spring training, and then make a determination of what to do when the season starts. Personally, I'm not interested until the real games begin.

    I'm with ya, Brutha! I want to see my Astros this year, but a lot of the games within my vicinity are being played Mon-Wed, instead of on weekends where I could use less vacation time.

    Newcomb is a nice young arm he will help the Braves in various roles

    I see him in the rotation early on and he may move to the Bullpen as the season progresses

    at 3rd base I like Austin Riley.

    However it is yet to be determined how he will do for a full season

    I think the Braves need to add a serious bat if they want to compete with the Dodgers in the playoffs

    if Austin Riley is solid at 3rd and Dansby Swanson struggles... maybe they ship Dansby Swanson, Kyle Wright, and Cristian Pache to the Indians for Francisco Lindor.
    if Riley/ Camargo struggle

    I say package some prospects and see if you can land Nolan Arenado or Kris Bryant.

    He started wearing Mizuno cleats which why he's slumping.

    So did I so here’s hoping Spring Training is meaningless.

    Acuna now has a chance to fix his swing by opening day

    King Felix is pitching great

    things are looking good for the Braves
