Ackley, Triunfel combine for eight RBIs in slugfest win

Posted Nov 18, 2009
If Dustin Ackley has any preference as to where he starts the 2010 season, the 21-year-old isn't willing to share. He says the topic didn't even come up in the brief talk he had with general manager Jack Zduriencik when the Mariners' brass came to town this week, so supposition about him starting off at Double-A West Tenn remains just that. If his month-long stint in the AFL is any indication, Ackley's future in a Mariners uniform isn't too far away. (MLB.com)
