Dustin Ackley a safe but a good pick for Mariners
Posted Jun 10, 2009
Since psychics normally don't double as baseball draftniks, it's not like you can expect to learn whether Dustin Ackley truly is the Mariners' star of the future. He's a mighty good college hitter with good athleticism and good character. All that makes him is — you guessed it — good. Not even those with Gammons-esque baseball knowledge would be foolish enough to declare him the center-field version of George Brett.
