Ackley and other former top prospects like him (Delmon Young and Dallas McPherson also come to mind) serve as a warning to those who tend to invest so deeply in to their cards. Because you could never really predict the direction where their careers will head in once they make their MLB debut. And Ackley's particular case and others like him who failed to reach their potential is one of the primary reasons why I no longer buy in to expensive Bowman Chrome prospect auto's until they actually show signs of promise in the MLB. As for Kelenic, I honestly have no opinion on him, but just hope he does well.
