I don't feel confident that Wedge knows what the problem is regarding Ackley. He seems to want to mold Ackley into his mindset. And Wedge is a forceful guy, and boss. So, when Ackley comes to the plate he's torn between doing things his way, and doing things Wedge's way. My guess is, he'll go to AAA, listen to nobody but himself, and learn to trust what it was that got him where he is. He'll return to the club, and learn to tune out the distractions (Wedge) and go after the pitches he wants to go after, when he wants to go after them. And, because he's learned to tune out the distractions (Wedge), he'll attack them with confidence and a single minded purpose. The whole idea that Eric Wedge is going to explain hitting to Ackley scares me. There are players who will indeed thrive on Wedge's advice, because they need an approach and so will successfully buy into it wholeheartedly. Dustin Ackley is not one of those players. Ackley didn't come to the major leagues needing guidance from Eric Wedge on how to hit. If he needed guidance, he probably needed it, or could have used it anyway, from an Ichiro of 2-3 years earlier. Or a Figgins of 2-3 years earlier. Players with similar skillsets and approaches he could observe on a daily basis, brains he could pick with confidence.
By no means do I see my observations as describing a fireable offense. I would prefer everyone learn from this and move on. Z, Wedge, Ackley, and those to come. These are all very competent people who need to learn and move forward.
