Joe Morgan, Rookie year, 1965: .271-.373-.418 14 HR's
Joe Morgan, Third year, 1967: .275-.378-.411 6 HR's
Joe Morgan, Sixth Year, 1970: .268-.383-.396 8 HR's
Composite (if PA's were equal during each season..they weren't..but it is close)
.270-.378-.410 9 HR's
What do you think? Does Ackley better that during his rookie or 2nd season? I'm willing to be that during the post-All Star portion of 2011 Ackley's numbers aren't too far from that.
Will he be another Morgan? Nope (Hey, Morgan had 6 seasons in a row where his OBP ranged from .406-.466! And he hit more than 20 taters in all but one of those seasons. And he won 5 Gold Gloves in those 6 seasons. And he won two MVP's!!!) Ackley won't be Morgan. But he'll be pretty dang good...pretty dang soon.
