You said it was inaccurate because the Nats were more confident because of the more mature approach. You have that point to defend; you have not. Hence the Franco comparison---if they were the same, he would have been up last year. My main point is that the age that a top prospect comes up (and both were sooner or later) sometimes depends on team situations, not how good the prospects are. And yes, they are different prospects/players. No dispute here. But you were the one who said that a statement that Soto was called up younger than Acuna was the different situations between the Braves in 2017 and the Nats in 2018 was "inaccurate." You have not. You have just attacked a small point that I made because you said something about Soto's "last two stops" which was factually incorrect. If you had said his last two stops longer than 8 games, it would have been correct. You did not. That has nothing to do with me.
