Meaning you think he's really more or less?
Haven’t seen him with my own eyes.

I still just hope he turns into fast Markakis.

Well I'm just glad your opinion of him hasn't changed over the span of his zero professional at bats

I'm concerned. Zero homers, zero hits, zero RBI. I do like that he's not striking out.

I'm more alarmed by the fact that he hasn't made a single putout.
You can’t just rely on the other defenders around you to make the plays, particularly in Safeco.
We should trade him while his value is still high.

I think Ackley is going to follow a JD Drew career line minus some of the strikeouts and add a couple BB.
But then again this is based off nothing really…
You got slurved!
So you're saying he'll be injured a lot?

No I think he's saying he'll break up a Felix no-hitter at Fenway

I don't like the implications either way.

The most important fact I gleaned:
All AFL players are going to have to wear those giant batting helmets.
If this becomes an MLB requirements, I think the comedic proportions of players heads could ruin baseball.
