Can't go wrong with either guy but Soto's walks to strikeouts is most impressive to me
Soto: 53 walks to 57 strikeouts
Acuña: 21 walks to 81 strikeouts
That kind of plate discipline as a 19 year old is really impressive.

Did you even look at the whole graphic? He's been getting worse and worse. He'll probably bounce back but he's definitely fallen off recently.
Let's see where you move the goalposts to now lol
I'm guessing you'll jump to semantics

“Falling off” is what Albies has done 3x this year. Just being totally useless for stretches
Surely you see the difference

Soto has been the 6th best hitter in baseball to date and he’s 19. Of course, he is more like to do worse than that going forward than better. But to act like he is hitting the wall when he still had a .422 OBP over the time period in question seems odd.

Him and Acuna are going in opposite directions. Soto seems to have been getting figured out more and more over the last 30 games. His last 8 games or so have been baaaaaaad

I'm obviously a Braves fan.
This entire discussion is ridiculous. Both players are young. Both players are outstanding. They each bring different skillsets to the table. Soto is probably the better hitter, but Acuna is probably the better overall guy.
Soto's ability to get on base even during his "struggles" is most impressive. That means that he'll still be productive during slumps, assuming he continues this throughout his career.
Right now, I'd give the ROY to Soto, but if he continues to "slide" and Acuna stays hot for an extended period of time, that could obviously change. In the end, I think voters will base their opinion strictly on HRs, RBIs, and AVG even though that's a flawed way to do it. If that's the case, then this should be a close race until the end of the year.

Need a bigger sample size than this. His numbers over the past 30 are just fine.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 10:04 am to Sun God
Juan Soto in the second half is hitting .300/.440/.613. I’m not even going to argue about acting like an 8 game sample means anything.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 10:12 am to The Seaward
Geez he might get benched with those struggles

Like I said he'll almost certainly bounce back but Acuna has been better in the second half.

God I hope his obp doesn’t fall under .400, they might send him down

Why do you turn into a troll in any thread that involves the Braves?

How is defending someone with an 850ops a troll ?
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:14 am to Lester Earl
Dude, you show up in every Braves thread trying to stir shite up. I'm not sure why you enjoy it so much.
ETA: I think most rational people think Soto and Acuna are both great young players to be excited about. If you like more flash, athleticism, and pop, then Acuna is your guy. If you like the better eye at the plate and approach, then Soto is your guy. They are both going to be great.

I haven’t disparaged Acuna once in this thread. There’ has been no trolling. What hurt your feelings here?
Posted on 8/14/18 at 11:34 am to Lester Earl
Nothing hurt my feelings. Just curious why you show up in every Braves thread just to argue.
Where did the Braves touch you?

It's just the online version of the person who has to be different by not supporting the local team
It's attention seeking, which is the root cause behind bandwagon sports support in the first place
