We sure are lucky to have a guy like Dalton Knecht. Dude is a straight baller. I haven’t felt this confident about a player being able to go out and get 20 points on any opponent any given night since that Grant Williams team. We’ve been missing a player like this ever since that team and it is really fun to watch again.

It’s crazy that we were a very good team last year with lots of guys back, but when I watch us with DK, I wonder how we won last year

Top 3 for sure, him, Ohtani and Betts...

Trout is great but injury prone...

Judge is a one trick pony...sorry professor...

I would place Acuña just ahead of Betts because of the value he provides on the base paths. That’s what separates him from the other top players. The only reason I place Ohtani at the top is due to him being a great pitcher also, but if you take the pitching aspect away from him all bets are off and Acuña is the best in the game. Name another guy that can go out and hit 40 bombs and steal 70 bases. He is in scoring position at any point in time.

It's true...Rickey could hit 40 bombs and we all know stealing 70 base was a half season for him....

He was in scoring position just as Acuna was when he stepped in batters box....

Rickey was Acuna before Acuna....

Ricky never hit more than 28HR and 74RBI in season 😂

BTW, Acuna is good, but I wouldn't put the guy on Mount Rushmore after 1 great year...

Let's see him do it for the long haul...then I will say he was one of best ever....

One year doesn't get him in HOF...
