Dustin Ackley calls for gushing
Posted May 23, 2009
In Peter Gammons' May 16 blog on ESPN.com, he -- yes -- gushed for nearly 500 words under the headline "Carolina's Dustin Ackley has 'it'" and evoked the names of Derek Jeter, Joe Mauer, Chase Utley and Johnny Damon. That love is expected to continue all the way through June 9, when Ackley is a near-unanimous choice to follow San Diego State hurler Stephen Strasburg at No. 2 in the MLB draft, to the Seattle Mariners.
