Mariners' Dustin Ackley Having a Strong Spring

Posted Mar 28, 2014
The old adage that stresses a need to disregard spring-training stats generally holds true. Generally. Mariners left fielder Dustin Ackley sees it differently. That he entered the spring’s final two games at 26-for-64 (.406) is, he believes, an affirmation of his 2013 second-half breakthrough. "It’s huge," he said. “To come in here and have this success is exactly what I needed." (Seattle News Tribune)
