It's not the transfer, or at least not as I see it. I would never presume to translate Jason's scouting. I agree entirely that Ryan Franklin has a violent weight transfer, but against a firm front side. Ackley often appears to float, he does not have a firm front side -- kind of like Ichiro's slap a grounder to short and beat out the throw to first swing.
I never played enough baseball to have much of an intuitive sense for 'scouting', so I could be totally off.
Totally agree about the late 90's Griffey. The number of times he got himself out by insisting he could yank a homer on any pitch at any location in, or out, of the strike zone... It drove me crazy. I always preferred Edgar for this reason.
