Dustin Ackley makes pit stop back at second base

Posted Aug 6, 2013
Converted outfielder Dustin Ackley returned to the Mariners' infield for Monday night's contest against Toronto. Ackley was selected second overall in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft as a second baseman, but moved to center field during a Triple-A stint midway through this season. "A little bit of a surprise, but I've been taking ground balls ever since I started playing outfield," Ackley said. (MLB.com)
