People are telling me Acuna has Trout-like potential. Let's hedge a LOT and call him a 130-140wRC+ hitter with 20-30 HR, a mid-order role, and a .280 AVG. 650 PA.

You may need to wait 2-3 seasons before those numbers fully materialize (see Buxton, Byron)
Ohtani as a hitter probably doesn't actually play much after 2018. I'm expecting a "well we tried it, why don't you focus on pitching now" scenario

As a pitcher, the ceiling sounds like maybe Robbie Ray. He's supposed to have a high walk rate so his success will depend upon a gaudy K rate

That profile can also turn into Dinelson Lamet or Rafael Montero
Thanks for chatting folks, I grading this as a good session

My dog votes for a walk now, so I'm hopping off. I plan to be back next Tuesday. Will mine this for topics too - a few came up.
