Things to consider about Dustin Ackley when it comes to promotion

Posted May 19, 2011
The Mariners have opted to keep Dustin Ackley in Class AAA for now. Can't say I'm too surprised, though yesterday's tweet by Dave Cameron, suggesting the team was contemplating an Ackley move, certainly had merit. The team did indeed discuss bringing Ackley up. What losing team wouldn't, when it has a young prospect tearing up AAA with his bat? (Seattle Times)
