Dustin Ackley at ease whenever Seattle debut comes

Posted Jan 30, 2011
It's only a matter of when -- not if -- Dustin Ackley will join the Mariners. But the team's top young prospect isn't playing that guessing game. He'll play baseball all day, every day. But when it comes to predicting when he'll reach the Major Leagues, the 22-year-old from North Carolina lays off that question like an off-speed pitch in the dirt. "I really haven't thought about where I'm going to be," Ackley said this weekend. (MLB.com)
