tricks of lotsa doubles and 10-15 homers.

I don't think the high expectations are a function of rooting for the home side; they're a function of the fact that the Mariners put Ackley at second base. If he were playing LF, a .300/.375/.450 line would be far more pedestrian.
Put anybody who has an outfielder's bat, into the MI, and you'd like to be his agent.
Strange that there was an argument about Ackley 2B. One more mark of honor for Capt. Jack - his insistence on deploying impact players, rather than safe-production players.
