Dustin Ackley looked great in batting practice the day I watched him, but no one thought he'd be making the trip north to Seattle when spring training ends. That doesn't mean Ackley might not get a few at bats in September if he plays well in the Double-A season. During his spring with the Mariners, Ackley batted .158 in 19 at bats, with a triple. Playing at West Tennessee will give him time to develop as a second baseman and get used to more pro-level pitching.

Joining Ackley in Tennessee will be pitchers Ricky Orta, Danny Cortes, Anthony Varvaro, and Edward Paredes
