Despite going for 0-f0r-2 in his Yankees debut and batting just .213 with 6 HR and 19 RBI so far in 2015, I think there is a method behind Brian Cashman’s madness on the acquisition of Dustin Ackley.
While my initial thoughts were why in the world did the Yankees give up Ramon Flores and right-handed reliever Jose Ramirez, two prospects with some potential upside who each spent time up in the big leagues this year for the 27-year old Dustin Ackley, I came to the realization that it’ not that bad of a trade.
