When you say his fielding was 'terrific' ... you think he could play a -7 UZR to +7 UZR second base this year?

I agree, with The Boras Factor, it is VERY tough to blow off the 7th year with Ackley. Much preferable to run a Buster Posey.
But! Even that's not absolute. If a major league GM thinks that a Dustin Ackley starts the year as one of his best ballplayers, as is, he's liable to go with him.
Ackley has made some noises about wanting to be allowed to play for a spot this March. Fairness enters into it.
