Atlanta Braves News: Morning Chop, Ronald Acuna, Dansby Swanson Compared to Derek Jeter?

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: The man everyone can’t get enough of this offseason…Ronald Acuna. If it wasn’t for the injury he had at the beginning of the 2016 season, we’d already be talking about how good this guy is. In 2016, he played the entire season (except for two games with the Gulf Coast Braves) with he Rome Braves at the Single-A level, this upcoming season I expect him to jump a few affiliations.

If he continues to play like he is, I can see Acuna finishing the 2017 season with the Mississippi Braves and then in his 20-year-old season with the Gwinnett Braves — or possible the Atlanta Braves if he continues on the path he is right now.
