But in my mind this is different and I have in fact upgraded Ackley's potential ceiling in my mind after seeing this.
Would agree.
Seeing Ackley do that Franklin whip-crack HR against Reynolds, seeing the SLG, well ... the ball sounded like a Browning .300 Win Mag.
The AFL doesn't overthrow previous evaluations -- agree with G there -- but I'm a LOT more comfortable with Ackley's chances to show Edgar-type power.
Franklin weighs 170 and none of us doubt his ability to hit home runs, because of his swing. For me, Ackley is showing similar right now.
