Dustin Ackley's draft stock on the rise
Posted May 22, 2009
North Carolina junior Dustin Ackley, a projected mid-first round draft pick at the beginning of the season, has climbed to near the top of the charts with a sensational junior season. Ackley, who was named the ACC player of the year earlier this week, has risen into the top five of the June 9th major league draft in most projections and is widely viewed as a potential No. 2 overall pick -- by the Seattle Mariners.
