How long you y’all stick with a player that you struggle hitting with? I’ve played with Acuna for 11 games and for whatever reason cannot hit with him. .097 average with 3 uninspiring singles. Which sucks cuz he’s my favorite real life player and plays well for the majority of the community.
Should I pull the plug and go for another player or stick it out a little longer?

A little longer. Where are people getting you out in the strike zone with him? If it’s inside, or up and in, cheat your PCI there and work from there.
With fastballs as fast as they are, low vision guys can be hard to hit with.

Tough to say but probably mostly inside. But not sure if it’s just in my head when he’s at the plate as the rest of my lineup is hitting .280 or better.
I did just take a look at the market and there isn’t really anyone other than Trout or Bellinger I’d really want so might as well stick with Acuna for a bit longer.
He has a fast swing. Up and in he crushes. Just sit high in the zone. And try your best to time the low pitches. He was the 1st person this yr I turned on a up and in Fb with.
I think 75 to 100 at bats give you a good idea. Learn how opponents are pitching sit on it cause eventually they will pitch to that same spot every time that player comes up. Maybe move him around in your lineup see where you hit best with him, Bat him in front of a hitter that opponents would rather give in to him instead of the guy coming up. I always check my opponents lineup especially with runners on.
