We all remember Dustin Ackley, he hit .303 in Tacoma in 2010, scouts were saying he was the best hitter they had ever seen!

Can’t miss said his college coach.

And his best season was his first, when he hit seven triples, spraying line drives all over the place, baseball fans were excited all over Seattle.

I still think that hyper Jerry screwed him up, switching him from position to position, never letting him get comfortable.

He had a hole in his swing that took ML pitchers and the sophisticated scouting system of the majors to finely figure out by his second season, and once they did he was screwed. In the game of adjustments he ended up out adjusted. It was basically as I understand it the upper part of the strike zone

That’s why these long term contracts for guys who’ve proven nothing, are crazy.
