Dustin Ackley a lot like ex-Heel B.J. Surhoff

If Dustin Ackley pans out to be the best major league baseball player produced by the University of North Carolina, he'll have to surpass a former Tar Heel who had similar skills. Right down to their builds (6 feet 1, 185 pounds), left-handed batting stance, right-handed throwing style and defensive versatility, Ackley is tracking along the same path as B.J. Surhoff.
