Acuna to AAA as 19-year-old. This kid is gonna be generational type player
Austin Riley to AA. Aggressive move, he wasn't exactly crushing it in A+. Guess we can take my "play for 2019" theory and flush it, this is an aggressive play for 2018. Im guessing now that Albies will come up this year, and Acuna very early next year. Several pitcher promotions probably coming soon too.Quote:

Got a lot to be determined in the next few weeks, but some guys are gonna have opportunitiesQuote:

Awesome. That ball may be worth something one dayQuote:

Gohara needs to developed into a mid relief. You will get 3-4 great innings from him but he drops off quickly.Quote:

I guess anything is possible, but I don't see it. For better or for worse, Swanson will get a shot full time to be our SS imoQuote:

With the Diamondbacks twice, Cubs and Dodgers the next couple of weeks the boy is going to have to man up and play alot better.
If Snitker legitimately starts platooning him, he's a moron who needs to be fired immediately.Quote:

His defense has been very good, even with the errors. Play Camargo at 3B, not at SS.
So Swanson is like Hunter Renfroe without the homers and the cannon of an arm in RF.Quote:
