Ackley to start working out at second base
Dustin Ackley - 1B - Seattle Mariners
Nov. 21, 2009 - 10:45 AM ET
Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said 2009 second overall pick Dustin Ackley will start working out at second base.
"We are not etching this into stone to say this guy will be the second baseman of the future," Zduriencik said. "It's just something we do." Ackley's work at second base should give Zduriencik a better indication of what to do personnel-wise going forward, since the 21-year-old is expected to arrive in the majors rather quickly. Ackley was an outfielder and first baseman with North Carolina, and has played center field during his pro debut in the Arizona Fall League.
