I really WASN'T comparing Ackley to Rose.....They certainly broke the mold on that one.
But I was trying to say that Rose made a very unorthodox leap tht worked out just fine.
A guy who commands the strike zone, takes a bunch of walks, and sprays the ball will always be a valuable hitter....find him a position and he's a real keeper. Ackley gives every indication that he is that now.
