Ackley has never been anything but ass. I've never seen a worse looking swing in my life. When he misses ( and he misses a lot ) it looks like he just threw his back out and dislocated both shoulders. Every time.
Did I mention he can't play defense? Can't play infield or outfield. No arm at all. The Mariners actually had him playing first base for a while and he couldn't even do that.
He can't steal either. He's fast, don't get me wrong, but he absolutely can't steal a base. He couldn't steal on a wild pitch from Stevie Wonder.
He's the worst big league player I have ever seen.
If he starts the season with the Yankees or any other big league team next year, they need to do a full blown investigation because something somewhere is seriously wrong.
