There were accelerators in Ackley's contract, bonuses for reaching MLB faster. So even though he's got a major league contract, they'd still owe him more money if he comes up faster.
I just bought tickets for going out in June. Their tickets are fairly expensive. Filling the place instead of whatever we're doing now would help pay that paltry extra price.
Ackley went 4-for-6 today, taking his OPS over 1.000 for the month of May. I still don't expect to see him until June but I wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised.
