We are all tired of Ackley but we know he'll hit better than he has so far. We know the routine. Slow start heat up in the summer. Full season of work? It'll be "Meh". But horrid Ackley is due to end and good Ackley is on the way. And he hit .751 OPS vs. right handers last season. He'll probably do that again. Don't get me wrong he should be much better We have lots of right handed hitters who hit better than Jackson or just as well. Weeks Ruggiano probably Romero. But we're a tad short on left handers. We can use a left handed outfielder like Ackley for the time being.
In CF yeah he makes you cringe a bit. But he'll make the plays and he'll get better. And an Ackley who can play CF and second base is an Ackley you can trade for something useful.
