[QUOTE="younggun308, post: 5223362, member: 4042"] We’re not bringing this whole outfield back. But I’d be surprised if we’re letting them all go. Acuña won’t necessarily be ready for opening day. So somebody has to play one position. That said, I cannot disagree more with y’all about Acuña. It’s like you didn’t watch the first half of the season at all. Dude is a hit machine and steal bases like a madman—before his injury, he was on pace for a unanimous MVP selection. He is the only reason the Braves were right at .500 at the trade deadline. This championship doesn’t happen without him. But to the offseason, it wouldn’t surprise me if we kept Duvall and/or Soler. Mainly because, in addition to the need to have a fully-staffed outfield, the designated hitter is probably coming to the National League next season. When Acuña returns, you get more bench depth from Duvall. I’d also be surprised if Ozuna doesn’t return after offseason penance and a PR campaign to soften the fan reaction. MLB just won’t have the basis to suspend him much longer, and there’s 2 more years on that contract. Hearing a lot of buzz about us going after Byron Buxton in the offseason, too. We’ll see! [/QUOTE]
