I get home in the evening and do my routine. It includes house chores and what have you, the typical stuff. Lately the first thing I do is hop on the computer to see what Ackley did today. Screw the email, weather and all that crap. It's Ackley Fall League.  And he walked 3 times today! Oh and he hit the ball too as usual. In a recent interview he says "MAYBE or HOPEFULLY, this spring they will remember what I did down here." or something like that. And it's like, Dude! You are in the friggin spot light. All of baseball knows what you doing down there right now, all modesty aside...please.
 
His K rates seem to be dropping a bit too. Which is nice considering he up against what many teams consider their best set up type pitchers for the future. Guys who I assume come in and simply attack the strike zone for an inning or so.
 
I really don't want to hear the mantra "This is the Arizona Fall League the numbers don't mean anything." If the torrid pace continues  you can bet your behind it means something. 
 
Yes, SSI is a bit saturated with Ackley, but not without reason he is looking so head and shoulders above the rest. So....more Ackley in your face.  
 
Oh yea, that future phenom Bryce Harper kid off to a bit of a start too. If you're into baseball outside the bubble.
