Juan Soto (Nationals) or Ronald Acuna (Braves)?

I am a Braves fan so gotta pick Acuna between the two but to be honest I would much rather have Freeman or Olbies before considering Acuna.

I'm a Donaldson fan too...even though he consistently has the worst haircuts in MLB.

I will say this about the Braves. When you look at their line up 1-4, I dont know that I've seen a better one in several years..... Acuna, Albies, Freeman, Donaldson......

uhhh the ws favorite, houston? springer altuve bregman alvarez/correa.

acuna still learning the strike zone, that's why i said soto is the better hitter. if you put soto batting discipline with the rest of acuna's game...well you get a flashy mike trout that's really marketable!

p.s. it's pretty nutty braves fans that watch braves games every day would rather have ozzie albies and josh donaldson than RONALD ACUNA JR...lol!

Houston is a sick team between their lineup and starting pitching. I can't believe they picked up Greinke.

Soto's higher on base percentage makes him a more valuable hitter than Acuna at this point.

Both are putting up historic numbers for players their age. Their career will depend on if they continue to take steps forward, if they plateau, or if this represents the peak for either player.

Either way, both are super exciting. Acuna is putting up flashier numbers (little more power and has the power/speed thing going), which Soto is more solid at this point.
