Good to see some minor league games again. Some noteworthy performances from day one, including:
Ike Davis' grand slam and 6 RBI day
Jason Heyward pair of doubles RBI/Run/SB
Mike Minor two scoreless innings
Buster Posey 0-5
Yonder Alonso 1-5
Ian Kennedy 4IP's 1 run 4K's 0BB
Dom Brown goes yard
So today there are a couple of afternoon games ahead, pass the day and post away. Let's talk about some of the fine AFL players

Dustin Ackley debut today.
Batting 9th and playing center field for Peoria at 2:35 eastern. He’s facing Jenrry Mejia.
Why on earth would you think that?
The Mariners have been saying all along he’ll be an outfielder.

He was listed as a first baseman, and in KG’s AFL preview, he said that they were going to wait until the spring to move him to CF:
The second overall pick in June, Ackley will make his unofficial pro debut in the AFL, and while he’s likely to move to the outfield next spring, he’ll probably stay at first base for now, as the Mariners don’t want to add a position switch to his plate, and the Scorpions’ roster is already loaded with outfielders.
Good lord.
Does nobody know he was an outfielder before the TJ surgery relegated him to first base duties during rehab? Kev Goldstein’s going to suppose that the M’s don’t want to add a position switch to his plate? Is there any direct quote that he supplies from any Mariner official that says that?
Everything I’ve seen, heard, and read from the Mariners has revealed that they want him in the outfield, preferably center field.

What?
No one said that that wasn’t the plan, merely that they were going to wait until the spring to move him back to CF. Yes, everyone knows why he was relegated to first base.
Where does that come from?
The “wait until spring” comment?

I don’t know, I’m not Kevin Goldstein. He probably talked to someone who said that that’s where he’d likely be playing, but I cannot say with any certainty. Perhaps he simply inferred it by looking at the roster and seeing the depth at OF AND that he was listed as a 1B. I’m not privy to the inner workings of his mind.
I merely stated that it was a pleasant surprise to see that he’s playing CF in the AFL because the reports were that he was going to play first.
Hmm.
Very well. No harm done and not worth getting anymore into.

tough
it’s only one start, but seemed a bit wild only 21 of 39 for strikes.
what’s more disheartening is that this was against the B team. Most of the starters from yesterday got the day off.
Not just box scores!
PFX data! Whee!
Wow, Joshua Fields needs to learn some control.

Lookin forward to seeing Hank King Conger.
Put up good numbers in a AA pitchers park and improved his BB’s and Defense. Hope he can put up some good numbers here and hopefully he’ll start in AAA next year.
First we had a Salmon and now we have a Trout, let's see the same results.
