Dustin Ackley earns Arizona Fall League MVP honors

Posted Nov 21, 2010
Anyone who saw Dustin Ackley in April probably could not envision the Mariners' second-base prospect taking home any kind of award for his on-field performance. Yet here it is, nearly seven months since that inauspicious beginning, and Ackley is the 2010 Arizona Fall League MVP. "That's an awesome feeling," Ackley said of receiving the award before Saturday's championship game. (MLB.com)
