Culberson has been a great addition to the club

And there's nothing else to say about the young gawd acuna:blessed:

I was watching Harold Reynolds and Pedro Martinez the other night and they was comparing him to a young Roberto Clemente :whoo:
i don't think that's a good comparison at all. acuna is a power hitter. clemente had decent power in his prime, but he didn't have an OPS like acuna's current one until he was 26. clemente was gold glove fielding and 320 hitting (and in his prime 340 hitting).

I would say Hank Aaron but it's too early to start those comparisons.

Him, Soto, Vlad Jr, and Trout. The league is in a great place in terms of GOAT level talent. To me Trout cant put himself with Bonds. He just hasn't won enough. In Baseball, guys like Barry always have a team playing like a playoff team. Trout doesn't and for that, he isn't on my personal GOATs list yet. Gotta win and be a leader.

We re-upped Flowers, hope we can get Suzuki back next year as well. I know Flowers is a "good ol boy" so he was gonna get taking care of.

He deserves it. One of the best pitch framers in baseball. I’d rather let Suzuki walk and go after Grandal or another midrange FA like Suzuki and Flowers were.
