Ronald Acuna

"Acuña Gohara, what a wonderful phrase/Acuña Gohara, ain't no passing craze."Isn't that how the song goes that Timon and Pumbaa sing in "The Lion King?" No? That's how I remember it from my childhood anyway.Well, I was singing this song in my head for four-plus hours on Sunday as I made the three-hour drive from Maine to Pawtucket, R.I. to watch Braves uber-prospects Ronald Acuña and Luiz Gohara.The timing proved to be excellent, as we learned this morning that the wait for Acuña is about to be over — Atlanta is…

It is hard to believe we are already on the verge of entering Period 5 in the Fantrax Bronze Points Salary Cap Challenge game. And yet, barely 10% of all games have been played. That’s partly because there have been roughly a thousand postponements thus far, but it does remind us that it is still very early in the 2018 baseball season.

Not this guy, that's for sure.The National League is a little more top-heavy…
