I have been impressed with him lately and found this on the Enquirer website.

Akiyama looks like a different hitter than he did last month. He ranks fourth in the Majors in the month of September with a .489 on-base percentage. The three hitters above him, Mike Trout, Freddie Freeman and Jeff McNeil, were All-Stars last year.
I think Dick Williams made at least one good move this winter.
