| Mariners ready to recall Dustin Ackley? |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (6/16/13) Is Mariners infielder Dustin Ackley angling for a recall? It could be the case if he continues to hit like he has at Triple-A Tacoma.
Ackley, who was demoted to the minors in late May after hitting .205, is batting .411 (30 for 73) with two home runs, five doubles, 11 RBI and 15 walks in 17 games for Tacoma. Though, the Mariners continue to proceed with caution.
"It has to be able to translate up here," manager Eric Wedge said, per MLB.com. "I think his mindset is the biggest thing."
Nick Franklin has thrived at second base since Ackley's demotion, which will likely prompt Seattle to move Ackley to the outfield once he's recalled.
"He's been playing some center field, some left field," Wedge said. "We know he can play second base basically perfectly, too. That versatility only helps us and helps him."

| Dustin Ackley being even more patient in Triple-A |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (6/14/13) Mariners infielder Dustin Ackley has been tearing the cover off the ball in Triple-A, but he hasn't done it by being more aggressive, according to Seattlepi.com.
Ackley was asked to be more aggressive in the minors, but is actually swinging at fewer pitches. Ackley has only offered at 30 percent of pitches at Triple-A, that's the second lowest rate in the minors. It's not clear if pitchers are being more careful with Ackley in Triple-A and not throwing him strikes, or if Ackley has been more selective.
Ackley is hitting .406/.519/.563 in 64 at-bats at Triple-A Tacoma. He hit just .205 in the majors earlier this year.

| Dustin Ackley doing well at Triple-A Tacoma |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (6/13/13) Mariners second baseman Dustin Ackley went 1 for 4 in his first game as an outfielder for Triple-A Tacoma.
Ackley has hit well in Triple-A since his demotion. In 14 games, he's hitting .417. He's being converted to outfielder in the minors to make room for Nick Franklin.
Ackley hit .205/.266/.250 in 156 at-bats in the majors this year.

| Dustin Ackley getting start in outfield at Triple-A |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (6/12/13) Demoted Mariners infielder Dustin Ackley got the start in left field for Triple-A Tacoma Wednesday, MLB.com reports. The Mariners will give Ackley a look in the outfield to provide the team with more options.
With Nick Franklin playing well at second base, Ackley may need to switch positions to have a spot. Ackley is batting .429 over 13 games in the minors with two homers and eight RBI.

| Dustin Ackley demoted by Mariners |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (5/27/13) The Mariners demoted second baseman Dustin Ackley to Triple-A Tacoma Monday, the Seattle Times reports. Ackley is batting .205 on the year.
Ackley was demoted following a six-game stretch in which he went 0 for 19 with four strikeouts.

| Dustin Ackley took a huge step back in 2012 and was one of the bigger disappointments in Fantasy. After an impressive callup in 2011, he batted just .233 before the All-Star break and actually got worse in the second half. Ackley hit .217 with a .275 on-base percentage down the stretch and finished the year batting a lowly .226 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI. He showed in college and during his brief stint in the minors that he can hit for average and still has plenty of time to turn things around at age 25. Another poor year could be a devastating blow to his Fantasy value, however, and Ackley will not have a ton of lineup protection in Seattle. While the fences coming in at Safeco Field should help, target Ackley in the later rounds of mixed leagues on Draft Day. Don't let him fall too far, however, as he is a prime candidate for a bounce-back campaign. (Updated 12/11/12) |
