Dustin Ackley highlights Jaxx roster

Posted Apr 6, 2010
The West Tenn Diamond Jaxx announced the 2010 roster Monday, three days before the Jaxx begin the season Thursday in Jacksonville. The most interesting addition to the 2010 squad could be former UNC star Dustin Ackley, picked as the No. 1 prospect in the Mariners' organization by Baseball America. Ackley, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2009 Major League Baseball draft, will begin his Double-A season at first base. (Jackson Sun)
