I don’t know about you, but I hate when Seattle Mariners fans compare Jarred Kelenic to Dustin Ackley, who is deemed one of the biggest draft busts in Mariners history. Kelenic is one of the most highly touted prospects in the MLB and he has struggled very badly in his first year in the big leagues, but is it fair to compare him to Ackley?
For me, there are plenty of reasons why Jarred Kelenic isn’t the next Dustin Ackley but I am going to keep this rant short and simple.
Update: Jarred Kelenic was just sent down to Triple-A Tacoma.
