Dustin Ackley As Lead-Off Hitter?

Posted Feb 6, 2014
Dustin Ackley is a man of many hats. Not only in referring to his gnome lookalike. His versatility has drawn comparisons to that of Tampa Bay's Ben Zobrist and further allowed his club to acquire the most productive positional player in this year's free-agent market in Robinson Cano, taking his own talents to the outfield in 2014. So, what hat will Ackley wear next? Lead-off hitter has a nice ring to it. (Lookout Landing)
