Ronald Acuna reminds me a hell of a lot of Andruw Jones in 1996-1998

Keep the hitting of the last 3 weeks and the defense, and Acuna will get into the HoF!

I think Ronald Acuna will hit for a higher average than Andruw Jones and i hope his defense can be as good as Andruw's was.

Reminds me and I want to throw this question out.

Is Andruw Jones a HOF? I say he is, 400 plus HRs, 1200 plus RBIs, highest WAR ever, best defensive OF ever. What say you and why?

Andruw isn't in the HOF yet. The total decline of his on the field production starting in 2007 has hurt his chances.

Yes. 10 straight gold gloves and the offensive numbers that he put up were incredible for the defense he gave us. Andruw will always be my favorite Braves player.

But the question is should he be in the HOF? His last couple of years were impacted by injury, he put his body through the wringer!

I think all in all he should be in the HOF and i think he will be one day

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Only 3 players have hit two lead off homers in a double header like Ronald Acuna has done today

Harry Hooper of the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox
Rickey Henderson of the Oakland A's and New York Yankees
Brady Anderson of the Baltimore Orioles

Acuna is the youngest player to homer in 4 straight games per Elias

It would be nice if he could become another Ken Griffey JrI think eventually he will wind up hitting cleanup
