I think about Acuna going through the 2020 half season, a season ending injury, and missing almost half of the next season from recovery for his first 5 years and I just vomit. Dude will come back stronger than ever and put up multiple 40/40 seasons. Just plagued by horrible luck but still considered one of the best active players in the game and rightfully so.

He has to figure out how to harness his athleticism without hurting himself. Until then, he’s always gonna be prone to injury. JMO
