He's been putrid in long stretches, but always comes out with at least 1 WAR offensively. He did 1.0 last year as a left fielder, his worst due to moving off second base. I think we can reasonably count on that going forward. That is the bottom, and you have his plus defense so it makes him better than "replacement" level. We probably have to worry more about LoMo than Ackley, and it seems everyone is pretty sanguine regarding him. Even when Ackley returned to earth last September, he wasn't grounding everything to second base, IIRC. He just stopped being Superman. That was huge to me. Of course, if he does revert to that form, like you say Moe, there is help on the way. And Ruggiano is there to limit the damage in the meantime. And like you, Moe, I ain't counting Romero out neither. The guy has some killer milb stats and tore up Tacoma after his demotion.
