I found it interesting how he considered Ackley to be the best prospect in this year's draft.

Sounds as though he may be trying to cushion the blow, if you know what I mean.

Well for what sells in sports, a Super Power Hitter should sell better than a Pitcher, and is less risk. So in that case, you can slightly see his point.

I wouldn't go so far to consider him to be a "super power hitter". Can he hit? Definitely. But that kind of praise may be an overstatement.

Well for this draft, I'd say he was the premiere power hitter. That's what I meant.

Bobby Borchering, Randal Grichuk, Chris Dominguez, Slade Heathcott and Kent Matthes might beg to differ.

All five possess more power than Ackley.
