Agreed - I love the differing opinions and analytics, for sure. Acuna is awesome and (w/ a GM's hat on), I would assume a healthy Ohtani over the next 5 years in this scenario. Acuna is awesome!! But the two-way elite player that Ohtani is would be the difference to me.
Back to the OP, it's cool to see that Ruth and Ohtani are so close at the beginning of their careers.... divergence can happen at any time and probably will. Just a cool snapshot in time!
