Dustin Ackley must produce at bat, and in the field

Posted Jun 28, 2013
Dustin Ackley did his best not to carry his work problems home. But going on two years of failure was a new experience. The kid from Walnut Cove, N.C., had never missed at anything, be it Ping-Pong or putting his bat squarely on a baseball. So, when the Mariners second baseman was playing poorly enough to be demoted to Class AAA a month ago, it hit the 2009 No. 2 overall draft pick hard. (Seattle Times)
