Annoying that none of the announcement included the names
WHITE MAN FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND SECOND OVERALL DRAFT PICK DUSTIN ACKLEY PROMOTED TO THE TRIPLE-A TACOMA RAINIERS OF THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE with two others.
Since May 1, Ackley’s hit .304/.426/.439 with a 42:27 walk to k rate. It isn’t a high-power batting line, but remember, this is Ackley’s first pro ball season, and he also moved to 2B.
Time to go to Tacoma

Paredes and Varvaro.
I am intrigued by both of those pitchers.

To be fair
the number of people interested in minor league relievers is pretty small, while Ackley is a big fucking deal.

Go Dustin!

Does this mean that Chris Woodward loses at bats because I am not okay with that.

SOMEONE THINK OF BILLY TRABER! WHY WON'T ANYONE THINK OF BILLY TRABER?
This is a day of mourning, people!

More seriously, I think this is probably bad news for Jack Hannahan
and worse news for Jeff Dominguez, though Dominguez is already pretty familiar with the Tacoma/Jackson, TN. shuttle these days.

Damn that's rough.
The Tacoma / Seattle shuttle is simple, but the task of going from AA to AAA back to AA is a cross country flight. No thanks.

SMACKLEY!

Dustin Ackley may be better looking than Cliff Lee.

Finally, a Tacoma roster worth going out and actually watching.
I hope they’re not rushing Ackley, though.

They aren't.

I'd take that at Safeco
(though of course he wouldn’t actually be doing that at Safeco, but you know what I mean)
The Ancient Mariner - July 14, 2010
Switching positions and not completely sucking offensively?
That’s a nice change of pace.
CMC_Stags - July 14, 2010
Just to be clear, they are worth watching?
