A little late to the party but Franklin's lefty swing instantly reminded me of another up-the-middle switch hitter with pop. Bernie also, IIRC, had a solid approach and let the top hand fly while still staying inside the ball.
Fun stuff. Franklin seems to instantly have as much clubhouse credibility as Ackley. I hope the M's give Ackley some innings in the OF, too. Gonna be tough to sit Franklin if he proves to be as good as he looks.
