After moving to the White Sox in the trade that saw Luis Robert Jr. head to the Mets, Luisangel Acuna avoided being in a logjam for playing time. However, he might not be an everyday player in Chicago either. Acuna can play across the diamond, and it's that versatility that will help him get into the lineup. Even with regular at-bats, there's little to get excited about from a fantasy standpoint. Acuna played 95 games last year (193 plate appearances) and didn't hit a home run. He did steal 16 bases, and it's the speed that is Acuna's biggest asset. Across six seasons in the Minor Leagues, Acuna played 533 games at all levels. He tallied 206 stolen bases. Acuna also has a solid Minor League career .282/.351/.400 slash line and 41 home runs. The problem is that Acuna's numbers have regressed as he's moved up levels. In 158 Double-A games, Acuna hit .278/.346/.396 with 12 home runs. In 159 Triple-A games, Acuna hit seven home runs and had a .265/.307/.360 slash line. Acuna is only a deep league or AL-only dart throw. He should still be able to tally enough steals to be relevant and shouldn't hurt your batting average. Expecting much more will likely lead to disappointment.less...
